I seem to have started a quilt – without even thinking about it much. Well that’s not exactly true. I’ve wanted to make a big postage stamp quilt for a long time. I cut a bunch of 2 inch squares about four years ago. I started cutting them because I can’t stand to get rid of any scrap of fabric. So those squares sat patiently until last week when I was feeling antsy and needed something to do with my hands. And look how far I’ve gotten – 12 blocks of 6×6 squares!

Who knows how long it will take me to finish this quilt. Really it doesn’t matter – what matters is that it’s giving me some peace to sit and choose the fabrics and sew them and press them and then admire them all together. And also to remember the projects that each fabric came from – it’s a quilt of little memories.
