The week between Christmas and New Year's I pin basted four quilts, preparing them for machine quilting. Today I am sharing the third finish of the four. I made this quilt from rectangles I found in a box of scraps from a quilt I made a number of years ago.

A few years ago I fell in love with scrap quilting, mostly because I hate waste. My issue though was my obsession with making things match. As I have progressed in the world of quilting, the ability to let go in scrap quilts and allow them to form has become easier. I have had to learn to separate my quilting into two forms, the beautiful matching blended creation and the random scrap quilt. Since one of my goals AGAIN this year is to use up my ever building pile of scraps, the Project…
