My BFF, Renee, scored another pre-garage sale quilt scrap bag from one of her neighbors. It cost her a whole dollar. She gave most of it to me, except she kept the 30 or so completed Dresden Plate patterned blocks!! 

This is what I pulled out of the bag……

It looks as if someone started on the border and then started to work inward.  It has all been hand stitched….

But has all these dangling strips ready to be stitched. 

 I really don’t even know where to start or how to begin to finish this puzzle of a quilt!

I assume this is the middle because there are pre-cut squares in these colors all in the same bag.

There are lots and lots of squares just ready to finish this whole thing.

Does anyone have any ideas on what to do first??  HELP!

I think I’ve finally realized that I am addicted to fabric scraps. Some quilters may enjoy buying the most fabulous fabrics, but I really like getting their leftovers! My dear friend, Renee, scored 5 bags of scraps for a whopping $2 at a garage sale last weekend, and she passed them to me.

My wonderful hubby suggested I sort them into bags of color, therefore, the lovely horseshoe I’ve created while sorting the last couple of evenings.

Lots and lots of pre-cut 4 and 5 inch squares!!

And mounds of expensive and great designer fabrics!! 

You can see how much Kacey helped me with this chore!  But the best part about all of this treasure for me, is that it inspired me to dig out the string quilt I started months ago.  One of only 1,345,789 projects that are left, waiting to be finished in my closets!

OK, gotta go keep pluggin’ along!  The goal is KING SIZE!!

Number #10, KIM! Because, I decided to rate our fabulous weekend wedding and I gave it a 10!!

MARRIED!!  More to post later, but first I need to tend to my ducks, my garden, and life in general!

Because I’m crazy busy this week with my youngest daughter’s wedding, and because I am currently out of town at my nephew’s graduation, I think I’ll give away this fabulous vintage (if you call 1963 vintage!!) handstitched quilt block.  I’m not sure of the pattern because I’m such a random quilter and don’t know my patterns, but it doesn’t match my other faded out blocks.  This particular piece was kept in a sealed baggie for 50 years!!

Tell me about the wedding you last attended in the comments below.  Maybe I’ll get some new ideas!!  I’ll pick a winner on my daughter’s wedding morning next Saturday with some random number I’ll choose from some random event this week :-)  Good luck!!
