Scrap Squad Farewell

I’ve enjoyed my time on the Scrap Squad.  I loved seeing how each of us did up each quilt.  They were all so different. taking on each persons personality.  I just love that about quilting.  Here is my rendition of Silver Lining found in the current issue of Quiltmaker Magazine.  

I chose bright happy colors, which I almost always do.  They make my heart sing.  And in January my heart needs to sing the winter blues away.  I quilted clematis like flowers and leaves throughout the quilt.

And leaves in the border.

I’m gifting it to my newest niece, Lydia.  Who my sister thought might be a boy.  She didn’t find out, after all there are far too few true surprises these days.  So I had this quilt made, also a Scrap Squad, to be prepared either way. I’ll miss working with the lovely ladies on the Scrap Squad.  Me and my scraps will continue to play.
