Sharing Ideas at Quilt Expo





 I will be sharing ideas for highlighting your quilts 
with fabric bits and pieces. 
If your studio is filled with smaller scraps of fabric, 
rejoice in your good fortune.   


Learn creative paths for using these small treasures in your next quilting masterpiece.  


Ideas for both traditional and art quilts will be discussed.

And the Rest of the "Block" Story




You definitely came up with some good suggestions for projects to use the uncovered blocks.  There are always so many ways we can go.  Thank you for your ideas.

And this is the rest of the story of these blocks...................
Actually, these blocks were not in my stash but in a in a box of donated fabric given to our charity quilting group. We are always grateful for the generosity of others and try to make the best use of everything.


We searched through other boxes and found bits and pieces of fabric that could work 
with our blocks to make a quilt top. 
The blocks measured 8"x 8" so we cut our fabrics to that width and............. 


...............came up with this "strippy" quilt top. 

It's amazing how far a few blocks can go. The quilt top ended up twin size. 
We will finish it and it will soon be keeping someone warm at night.

If you are looking for ideas to eat up your scraps,  join me this week in Madison at the 
WI Quilt Expo where I will be presenting "Diet Quilts".  I hope to see you there.
