My Quilt of Many Colors
I had my second cataract surgery yesterday so I haven't done a lot of sewing in the last two days. Since I don't have anything new to show I decided to post some pics of "My Quilt of Many Colors" which I made in 2004. It has over 3,500 different fabrics..a true charm quilt with no repeats. It has actual fabrics from 1930-2004, with many fabric scraps from childhood clothing. It also has reproduction fabrics from the late 1800's, so it's something of a catalog of fabric designs for 100+years. The squares finish to 1", 1 1/2" and 2 1/2". I started out with some sample squares from Keepsake Quilting, collected more squares on E-bay and then cut squares from every fabric I owned. What fun!
It's not my best made quilt, but it will always be one of my favorites as it's so much fun to look at. It's 81 X 94"

Wow, Mary, that is one amazing quilt! I love all the scraps, and what an accomplishment to have so many different fabrics.
I'm glad your second surgery is behind you, and hope the vision will be perfect.
Hi Mary, wow that is a lot of tiny squares, I love scrap quilts. Hope your eyes are doing better and you get back to sewing real soon. Take care.
