This year our quilt guild’s encouraging us to pull quilts
from our own stashes. It’s a terrific idea. Those of us who’ve quilted a while usually
have much more fabric than we know what to do with. There’s cotton we bought
when it was on sale, without a clue what to do with it. There are the prints we
LOVED in the store and couldn’t leave without. There are kits other quilters
gave us when they were cleaning house. There are scraps from previous projects.
When you remember how much these lovely cottons cost, it’s hard to toss even tiny
crumbs. I found this pattern online, promising to be a “stash-buster.” I had SO
MUCH FUN digging through my hoard looking for just the right colors. Now the
top is finished and ready to be quilted, my stash doesn’t look a bit smaller.
Maybe if I made a dozen more of these. . .
