Quilt Project
My latest quilt project is my first attempt at a crazy quilt; i.e. using up smaller pieces of fabric from previous projects that I just can't justify tossing. Turned out, it was a lot of fun paper piecing the various shapes and sizes of fabrics to make the 8.5' x 8.5" squares. I cut full-scap into 8.5 x 8.5" squares and sewed 16 squares before I started to run out of large enough pieces of fabric; so I decided this would be a "couch blanket" or "throw". I purposely chose bright, cheerful, fun fabrics as this is to be a "get well" gift.
As I'm giving this quilt away, I decided to take pictures before I joined the quilt front to the quilt back. This is the backer for the quilt. I absolutely loved the popsicle fabric and the beverage glasses cloth [I have since substituted much better photographs of Laura holding her quilt]:

The farm related fabrics were left over from a quilt I made a friend after he had heart surgery and was waiting for him at his ranch when they came back from the hospital.
