It might be time to address some concerns if your quilting project starts to resemble food.
Hi quilty friends! Progress is being made on the Twinkler quilt. The quilting is fairly light with very little ruler work and a lot of free motion. The quilt police might frown upon skipping the stitch in the ditch technique, but if they think it looks better, they can issue me a citation and move along.
I did it! 100 more Bow Tie Blocks. They aren't all orange but there is no repeat fabrics. Woohoo!
Hi Quilty Friends! Come on in and pull up a chair while I dig through my stash. I'm a woman on a mission to find enough orange and purple in my stash to make 100 purple and 100 orange Bow-Tie quilt blocks. The hope of only working from the scrap bins isn't doable.

In my quilting lifetime I've heard many quilters say they don't like scrap quilts. How is this possible? To me they are works of art even if it's a just a bunch of squares sewn together. The joy of a scrap quilt is seeing the different prints.
