My mom has been working on a new quilt for the last few weeks and I love it so much, I asked her if I could share it.
Over the last many years, when she finishes a project, she cuts some of the scraps up into 1-1/2″ to 2″ strips, in varying lengths.
She’s saved them for a rainy day.
In May it must have have rained, since she pulled out her scraps and started a quilt.
The widest rows are about 16″ wide and the narrowest are about 5″ wide. I love how a few sections run the wrong way. And a few rows have narrow rows through a section.
She’s been hand quilting it before she goes to bed each night. It should be done in a few days.
When my husband saw it, he said, “Oh man, that is an ugly quilt.”
I think it’s one of my favorites that my mom has made.
She has enough scraps to make a few more quilts, so I may be making an ugly quilt just for me. And he won’t be allowed to use it.
