But the colors go together so well! I don't care for the colors in a quilt my grandmother and GGmother made together because they are true scraps collected over time from clothes they wore. Many , many quilts are made of small scraps and look lovely.

Thank you. I'm proud of the quilting on it, but boy I do not like the scrappy look. It's my second scrappy quilt and I hated both of them equally.

Wow!! Remember me saying my BIL's gf sold a guy a million dollar scratch off ticket at our little gas station?
Dude just died of stage four cancer. That sucks! Sad.

Now, Cap, I like that scrappy quilt. It seems to go together, they're all relatively the same size or shape and the tone all reads about the same.

It has faded a lot since 2001 when i made it. The dark strips joining the squares used to be black! That is my 6 week hysterectomy quilt.

@superchemicalgirl, if for no other reason love that quilt for the exquisite quilting you did on it. Glad to hear that you and the pupzil are warming up to one another. They have a way of doing that.

Wait, there's an anniversary occasion for a quilt I had never heard of!

I take a bath most nights... one of the cats always sits on the edge and watches. He comes screaming into the bathroom when he hears the drain close, before I can even turn on the water. Tonight the dog also joined us, and snored on the rug next to the tub.

I was not allowed to lift anything more than 5 pounds. So i decided to keep busy making that quilt and walking daily.
