Consequently, as I've only been married for three years and only have one baby so far, we haven't worn through enough fabric yet to make enough scraps! So, I wait patiently for the day when we start "wearing through the knees" so that I can make something lovely.<BR/>~BethanyBethany Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002485534563054176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-9532685113120674172009-02-19T09:05:00.000-06:002009-02-19T09:05:00.000-06:00I have a doll-sized scrap quilt my (eternally recy...I have a doll-sized scrap quilt my (eternally recycling) grandmother made for me when I was tiny, and now it's my daugher's.

In the quilt are squares from my bridesmaids' dresses, maternity clothes and other dresses I've made for myself, baby quilts, little girl dresses and jammies, curtains, etc. I realized that I've sewn a lot these past seventeen years!<BR/><BR/>My memory quilt is one of my favorite things I've ever sewn. The fabrics might not match perfectly, but it tells the story of my married life in a beautiful way!<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you will enjoy your quilt and the memories it brings back to you as well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-92034884138453101122009-02-18T13:57:00.000-06:002009-02-18T13:57:00.000-06:00LOVE it!LOVE it!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09518821890492874055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-65697106798777763132009-02-18T13:16:00.000-06:002009-02-18T13:16:00.000-06:00That's just the perfect description of how the ide...That's just the perfect description of how the ideal quilt would think/speak if it could.
