You do have your work cut out, but I believe you can do it!

And ... your solution on this occasion would work for me too. Even if no one in the family knew what my plans were, I'd still find it motivating to plan to make these quilts by the date of the wedding. Hmmmm ... I'll have to think how I might go about manufacturing a similar deadline.<br /><br />Megan<br />Sydney, AustraliaMeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03143400920174171516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567148070676790205.post-11504357235377424562015-01-22T22:41:38.387-06:002015-01-22T22:41:38.387-06:00I think of those little bits as "seeds" ...I think of those little bits as "seeds" rather than scraps. If you think about it, seeds in fruit are the part we throw away - and that is the part that makes the new fruit... so, 'seed' blocks it is... boys love black - lookin' good.

In any other world "scraps" are something to be thrown out. lol Your young cousins will love these quilts. If I may suggest something: use different colors for the sashing so that the boys can easily tell them apart. <br /><br />We happen to both be working on scrap quilts using this "make fabric from scraps" technique. If you find you get tired of the making the fabric part, stick larger pieces of solids in...that's what I've done and it's really fast! :-)Mary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.com
