MizMelly, cute idea! I've had the Scotty Dog on my bucket list for a while.

Isn't Pinterest just too much fun??? I have seen stuffed toy animals made using cutter quilts. So years ago I thought, "gee, I want to make one using an old well used quilt". So I found one at a thrift store and purchased it. You know what? It was just too nice to cut up!!! so I never did. I kept thinking what a shame, some woman spent hours and possibly years of her life piecing this lovely quilt and it was well loved. I keep it folded up on a shelf away from the cats.

I have been in this swap 2 or 3 times. It is a lot of fun, however, before I sign up again, I need to use some of my squares. Have fun everyone.

Jannie and NoraB, sorry to see you ladies go. I thought the same way you did, but made a bargain with myself to make two or three quilts with my candies so I can participate again. Already got one made!

Hope you will make some quilts and join us again next time.

Well, I'm in! A newbie for this swap. Barbara told me to introduce myself to the group, so...hello. I'm zozee. I've been quilting for about four years and love to quilt for charity.
