When I finish a quilt top – especially one that took a
great deal of time or made a huge mess – I spend some time tidying up
my work space. I run a slightly damp cloth across those surfaces that don’t
mind a little moisture, and take a lint roller to the rest. Next I clean and
oil my sewing machine and change the needle. I gather the scraps from the piece
I just finished and design a “bone bag” quilt. If the scraps are long and
skinny, the result might be a log cabin, a pineapple or a string quilt. The
Musical Mice baby quilt I made a dozen years ago https://mombowe.blogspot.com/2017/05/musical-mice.html
involved a lot of fussy-cutting, so the left-over fabric looked just like Swiss
cheese. It seemed like a good opportunity to try a crazy quilt. These thirty crazy blocks were a blast to make and came together in no time.
