Quilting is becoming an increasingly important and integral part of my life. My creative outlet changes how I view the world around me, influences the activities I pursue with my family, and introduces me to new people whose life paths wouldn't ordinarily intersect mine. My life is much like my favorite types of quilts - scrappy and unconventional, full of interest and surprises, and with an underlying current of making do (and making something beautiful!) with what I have.

Bad news, good news
The bad news is that I sewed the first outer border of my Sew Many Strips quilt on upside down.
The good news is that I realized my mistake before I sewed on any more borders.
I'm loving how it looks, and am so excited to have it all sewn together! It takes an awful lot of 1" x 2" (finished) pieces to make a bed-sized quilt.
I'm looking at my baggy of 1x2 inch scraps and wondering how much longer until I can do something scrappy like this. Great job ... and great to see a post from you.
