I can not allow myself to throw anything away once I finish a quilt. I have tubs of batting, tubs of pieces of fabric, drawers of thread....sooooo...once when Cassie was visiting us in WI there was s display of quilts made by the women of Gee's Bend at the Milwaukee Art Museum. First the Museum is awesome and second the quilts were just beautiful. Go to Quilts of Gee's Bend and read the stories. Once I saw these quilts I knew just what I would do with all my scraps. I made this little baby size quilt and I gave it to Katherine to wrap her great grand babies (Ellis at the time I think)in when they came to visit her. And like her Log Cabin Garden quilt...I got it back. All the grand babies have used it and now Allyson and Doodles use it. (I am making a more masculine one for Carter)

I hope you enjoyed my attempt at quilting. I've learned a lot over the years from comments and conversations I have had with friends on the Internet. I hope you will leave a comment that will inspire me to be a better quilter.
