A Long-term Scrap Project
Posted in Quilting
I’ve tried to keep a 2.5″ square of most fabrics from each quilt project I’ve done. This week, I finally decided on a layout for a meta-history quilt of my quilting journey and started piecing together some of the blocks.
So far, I have a block for the first eight quilts I made (2010-2011), and one for the quilt I need to baste and quilt this month.
The eight early quilts represented:
- The Baby Quilt
- The Bargello Quilt
- Wingéd Whirling
- Mother’s Day Quilt
- Kaite’s Damask Quilt
- Lollipop Quilt
- Froggy Synchronized Squares
- Star of Bethlehem
I’ve filled in with Cloud9 Limestone Cirrus where I didn’t have enough fabric scraps for a project.
I’m considering doing this as quilt as you go row-by-row, but am not decided. I’m looking forward to watching it grow.

Love this idea! By the way your War of 1812 quilt is headed to the National Parks Service in New Orleans next week for exhibit through April!
