One woman's trash is another's treasure!

Look what my grandma passed down to me during a recent destash of her craft room:

















This photo doesn't show this stack of over 50 vintage quilt blocks very clearly, but you can tell that there is an insane riot of color going on!
I would NEVER in a million years choose or combine fabrics like the ones you see here, but when I saw them all stitched up into a pile of lonely blocks, I fell in love with all that clashing brightness. Half of them have a purple central motif and the other half are built around an orange center.
Stay tuned for our new reversible family quilt!

  2. Exactly, Kat! All the "dirty work" is done :) I'm digging through my stash to find fabrics bold enough to stand up to these crazy blocks so I can put it all together. I'm not big on sewing in the summertime (I'd rather be outdoors) but I'm so jazzed about this that I'll forgo a few outings to get it done.
