Listening to the stories scrap quilts tell is why I love them so. Please write them down for future lovers of your quilt.

Very nice. Sometimes I think scrap quilts llook too scrappy, but yours looks like what a quilt should look like. You have great vision.

It made me happy to work on it & think of her. There is fabric in there from the first Halloween costume I made my now 26 year old son & so many other fabrics that brought back good memories. I was determined not to buy any fabric for this quilt & even pieced the back from scraps. I did have to buy some of the solid fabric for the stars & the border & binding. I decided to name it "If this Quilt Could Talk" because chances are if I have ever made something for someone there is a piece of it in this quilt.
