Its a two-fer!

Mere hours after I finished my last quilt top, I started working on another. The blocks for this project has been sitting idle for awhile.

This was a fun project with no worries, no patterns, and no seams to match. The blocks are made up by sewing random leftover scraps of together in no particular order or design.

This makes so much sense, because isn’t that what quilts are and have always been, sewing small pieces of fabric together to make bigger pieces of fabric until it is big enough. This is mindless sewing, therapy at its best because there is no color matching or perfect points to fret over.

I started this scrap-busting exercise more than a year ago and just added finished blocks to the growing pile. I made three just after finishing my last quilt top and was surprised to realize I had enough to make a lap quilt.

It is rather silly that when I watch TV in the evening, I often snuggle under pink blanket. It dawned on me that I have all these quilts hanging around, and yet, I’m cover up with a Dollar Store blanket. That just isn’t right! So, I had been thinking about making a lap quilt. This is it!
