In general, I’m a “work on one quilt at a time” kind of quilter. Once I start a quilt, I get tunnel vision and I am unable to think about any other project until the quilt has been bound and donated/gifted/put to use. I have two current project exceptions to this, one of which is this mega-scrappy quilt. This project has sat dormant for so long that I no longer know when I started it! At some point (several years ago!), I pulled out all my scraps and started sewing them together. At the time, I was still a novice quilter and while I had the idea to make a scrappy quilt, I didn’t have the slightest idea how to put it together. Flash forward several years and armed with about a million completed quilts under my belt, I pulled out the pieces and sewed them all together. It only took me an hour or so to sew the large pieces together – go figure!
It’s so fun to see random pieces from my previous projects in this quilt (those chickens!)!
Needless to say, I love how this quilt came out! Clearly, the moral of the story is to not let unfinished quilts sit around for years and years!
