When life gives you scraps, make a quilt.

When life gives you scraps, make a quilt.

A couple of weeks with extra work has left little time for stitching, but its the thought that counts, no? I'm finally at almost the right length, so that I can just expand the width (I guess until I run out of motivation, or fabric, whichever comes first), but it looks like it will fit a queen-size bed. The lovely thing about a scrap quilt is remembering the stories that go along with the fabric, so my thanks to friends and family who have generously supplied memories. 

Paper piecing involves laying out the sections, tacking the material to the template, sewing the folded edges of the fabric together, then removing the template so that only the material remains.
