scrappy inspirations

Nope, not mine. Mom just finished this oh, so scrappy top. The block is The Frugal Patch from Quilter's Cache pages but she is calling it AKA Trip down Memory Lane because of the fabric bits from previous sewing---old curtains for me, a dress from my grandma, bits from family and WTIL quilts, a cobbler apron for my niece. It represents about a weeks work of sewing and cutting. She said in her email that all the fabric was from the bits and pieces around the house in bags or shoe boxes, so you might say it is a "found" quilt. Much like what Patti has been doing with her "Broken Dishes" quilt and what she has planned for HER totes and bags.

Patti had mentioned several other scrappy quilt idea from Quilter's Cache that she was thinking about using: Four Patch Ladder, Buckeye Beauty, Four on the Road, Depression Block, Gay Two Patch, Glory in Scraps. I told her in comments that my mom had made the "Four on the Road" as her block pass around with her small group (think this is right) but the for the life of me I cannot find the picture of that quilt. Maybe you can scan and send the pic onto me, Mom?

The links for the blocks Patti listed on her site or you can always look at the alphabetized lists on Quilter's Cache links if you know the name of the block you are looking for:
Alphabetized List Page A_F
Alphabetized List Page G_L
Alphabetized List Page M_R
Alphabetized List Page S_Z
Hint: If you don't want to scroll through the whole list try using Ctrl +F (for find) type in the block name and it will take you to the spot on the page

So what am I planning for the day? #12 of 12 is quilted but I still need to put on the binding. There is also one more label to put on another quilt and then cut some strips needed for the round robin. Vacuum the sewing room floor--I would do that now except for Pippi lounging in the doorway keeping me company, LOL. Actually she is probably hoping more for a stroll to the kitchen to inspect the adequacy of the provisions in her food bowl but I will delude myself into thinking she has no ulterior motive. It would be a quiet laid back morning with DJ off to the golf course, etc but the neighbor's new puppy wants back in the house in the worst way. Bark and whine like "when will you people get a clue?" Poor thing.
