a prolific and talented quilter, but she doesn't love scraps like I do, so she generously shares them with me. We had a fun afternoon sorting through her scrap basket. Isn't this a wonderful looking pile?!? I must admit to having received quite a few wonderful scrap bags from this friend. But now it is catching up with me.

Welcome to the stashbuster webring! Can't wait to see your finishes!
I just looked at your bio. You mention Elmira. Is that NY?

Thanks Jennie!
If you read through my lengthy post on March 2nd, right at the end is the layout that most of the retreat group preferred. So I think I'll go with that layout idea, and put the sashing on while I watch TV in the evenings.
