A while back, a friend gave me a bag of scrap fabric. Miss ME and I pieced together a jelly roll quilt top from that. Miss ME was a big help! I then used scrap fabric from my stash to make a quilt back. Yesterday, I did the quilting. Honestly, I didn't worry about the … Continue reading Scrap Quilt Complete!
