Here's what she wrote when she received it:<br />I can't even express how excited I was hearing that your quilt had come in, I love it! Especially all of the bright colors and the inclusion of ocean themed fabrics; you're so talented and I always love seeing what you come up with. Thank you for creating this beautiful piece for me and I can assure you I'll treasure it forever. It's already coming in handy in my chilly dorm up here in Fort Collins, CO, it's the perfect layer to accompany all the late night studying I do!<br />Thank you again so much for this amazing gift, lots of love,<br />Tessa Martha Ginnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01609132014556238098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131596258730306947.post-60215465487890979352013-09-27T00:51:34.266-05:002013-09-27T00:51:34.266-05:00Tanya, I highly recommend this technique; some peo...Tanya, I highly recommend this technique; some people draw pieces out of a sack or box and let the design find its own way. I can't give up this much control, but the decision-making is quite entertaining!Martha Ginnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01609132014556238098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131596258730306947.post-39165387123172572712013-09-26T21:16:16.600-05:002013-09-26T21:16:16.600-05:00Those are very energetic!

Alas, as you've pointed out, the scrap inventory persists despite such efforts.Tanya Brownhttp://www.tanyabrown.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131596258730306947.post-26341787455053200572013-09-25T22:50:17.375-05:002013-09-25T22:50:17.375-05:00Thanks, Joy.

I'm also doing some free-form quilts ala Rayna Gillman, so I love having strips left from other projects.

You have given me a great idea to use up some of my scraps - my guild is looking for more quilts suitable for older boys for our local hospital.Joy Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18370241122283127366noreply@blogger.com
