I joined a cyber-retreat on the weekend of National Quilting Day. The Pat Sloan Yahoo group decided to have a weekend of quilting, chocolate, chatting, and friendship. I wanted to make a quilt top completely from my stash. I pulled all my orphan blocks, leftover nine-patches and odds and ends. The common factor was color, they were all red, navy, gold, brown and/or green, so I pulled all my matching scraps from the bin.
I put them together in groupings and filled in with things where I could. I learned quickly that being spontaneous was not as easy as I had thought. I do like the outcome....do you?
