1000 Little Quilt Pieces



My Mom has a closet full of material that she used to use for quilting. Now that she's a bit older, she is not so much into sewing the fabric pieces together, but she still likes to do the hand-quilting. This is where I come in.

We were going through her stash, and found tons of different sized fabric squares, from about 1 1/2 inches to about 3 inches, plus she had some quilt squares already made up. She said, "Take the whole thing, I'm sure you can figure out what to do with them." The point is to make something that she can quilt. Soooooo,

I took the whole thing. I started sorting according to color and size, and came up with a bunch of little piles of fabric squares. Then I took a look at some of the finished quilt squares and tried to figure out what I could do with them.

The good news is that I think there are a couple of doable projects using the quilt squares that she already made, plus I think I can do something with all the little fabric squares. It's quite a project, but I'm looking forward to the challenge. Come back in a few days and I'll have something to show you!
