Amy's Creative Side scrap quilt


Worked on the quilt blocks from Amy's Creative Side

I am doing these in calicos, using the scraps left from

several projects made with these 20 different calicos!


I may also make this quilt in batiks!

anyone else doing these blocks??

Words to live by!

Quilting shouldn't be Work!
there are jobs for that!

start fresh every morning,clean,oiled and with a fresh needle!

If I sew a seam wrong two times in a row it's time to quit for the day!

Work on a UFO at least 15 minutes a day- soon it won't be a UFO!

There are no ugly quilts- Someone loves every one of them!
