It must be somewhere underneath all my fabric, but I can't find it.
I forgot to sign up for the scrap exchange over at 15 minutes play,
but it turns out I didn't have to.
My neighbour gave me a huge bag of goodies from her SIL.
It's a bit overwhelming, but a couple of hours of ironing
in front of the TV resulted in this:
I sorted it out into strips for, squares, and bigger bits.
Lots to play with here.
Meanwhile, I've been collecting 6 by 12 inch string blocks from local quilting friends.
We're making several quilts for the emergency shelter program of a local agency.
At my guild meeting last week, I got another 100 or so strips,
and so we started sorting them out by colour families.
This one has a pink theme, and I'm planning on
making one with black strips, and another in the green family.

Nice scraps. I REALLY need to do something with mine! They are overflowing now........and more keep coming!
Like the string quilt...I think is helps to have them in color families!
oh well, no wonder you can't find it.
Go ahead and buy a new one, then the old will reappear ;-)
