About last night...
Handarbeitsvorräte aufgefüllt. Der Stanzer für 1"-Hexies erleichtert echt so viel. Habe mich außerdem dafür entschieden, nicht nur das blaue Leinen zu verwenden, sondern auch ein paar Blüten mit gelbem Mittelpunkt zu machen (Stoffrest aus anderem Projekt). Schöner Kontrast.

Decided on a pattern for my Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt an started to sew a test. My plan - so far - is to use no newly produced fabric. I made the first flowers out of a rest of my 1. medieval-byzantine garb, an old jumpsuit of my kid (woodland critters), a shirt I never wore and a vintage fabric scrap. The border of the flower (or the "ways" between the flowers in the garden, there will also be "leafs" in various shades of green) consists of second hand cloth, I hope I have enough of it. I had the luck to find second hand some vintage fabric from a quilter (may the earth be light on her). I bought ~ 4 Kg fabric online really cheap and without really knowing what was in it, only because of some turquoise cotton fabric I saw on a crappy photo. I gambled a bit and was rewarded. When I opened the parcel I was so happy to find that there were several pieces of (vintage and modern) damask bedclothes included, hand died in green, olive and turquoise. Really, it's an absolute treasure box.

Edit: (Also: I feel like I am deeply in need to review my thoughts about art and crafting. When I look at other peoples things: Yes! This is art!
When I look at my things: No, you just did.. apply things you bought, used techniques you saw. 🥴)

#scrapquilt I found an oddly shaped beginning of a scrap quilt in a bucket of donated fabrics at a communtiy arts center about a year ago. It was love at first sight!! After trying to figure out how it was made, and desperately trying to find the artist who’d started it, I made new squares and began adding to it. It brings great joy and comfort.

I think I need to amend my earlier statement:

These 114 blocks made *NO* noticeable dent in my scrap stash.

It will probably take me YEARS to work through my entire stash of scraps.

3/3

I spent about 40 hours over the past 10 days making scrappy quilt blocks. Once I decided on 6" square blocks, I managed to use up a healthy number of scraps and made 114 blocks.

The amount of scraps I still have is huge. These barely made a noticeable dent in the pile. 1/3
