The scrappy sampler is made of gray, blue, and white 6" blocks, many of which came from Liz Lois' books, Nearly Insane and Just Plain Nuts. I used Civil War reproductions, batiks, and other scraps, and had a great time making it. Joanne in NH quilted it for me, very simply, and it has a scrappy back. This picture shows it hanging at Westview Meadows senior housing back in December, 2017 (I think), where I had a one woman show.
I spent some time over the very hot weekend packing it up, and I mailed it to Texas this morning. It's a little bittersweet to send one of my "children" away, but also a relief because I am, once again, running out of storage space. The months of Stay Home - Stay Safe have resulted in quite a few finished quilts and even more works in progress. Since we're still staying home most of the time, I expect I'll get a few more done and, perhaps, listed for sale.

I have never started an etsy shop but have a contact at a museum gift shop in Little Rock and had luck selling quilts there over the years - they have one on consignment still it has been there a while and wouldn't be surprised if they send it back soon or find out if I want to lower the price - it is always nice to sell a quilt isn't - I decided a couple years ago that would be the last one I sell the rest one day I will give away to family
