It's Independence Day.....Let us celebrate. I've been scrap busting again and that is making me feel very independent in making one-of-a-kind scrap quilts.
Scraps add up to yardage
and yardage equals a quit block finished....
then another.....with the only plan in my head - alternating light and dark scraps for a finished 12" quilt block
for a complete quilt top finished in no time. May you enjoy the freedom to pursue your dream.
To my delight, this little bulb pushed up in my back garden yesterday: A pink Rain Lily aka Zephyranthes Minuta
and between its fragile beauty and a very desirable rain, out poured Haiku Poetry No. 13:
"When will one ever be
Summertime is hot and dry
A flower so rare."

It must be the heat! Or, is it that I obsess! I prefer to think that I'm not obsessing, but rather, reinforcing the process of making four-at-a-time flying geese. Two toddler size quilts later, I think I've got the hang of it. My geese blocks measure 3" x 6" making a perfect 36" x 48" delight filled with my left-over fabric scraps.
What I learned in making my second toddler quilt was that directional fabric must be viewed with a jaundiced eye.
No, I didn't rip, but allowed each block to add interest and in the whole scheme of things, the mis-directed blocks are not noticeable, unless one searches for the OOPS!
I rather like these two with the directional background fabric allowing movement in each block. And a big "thank you" Marcia Derse and Malka Dubrawsky, for allowing me the opportunity to purchase your fabric.
