I love this technique as I’m not really a flowery or swirly sort of quilter,or one who has to have every square mm of a quilt decorated. It isn’t that I can’t appreciate that sort of quilting but it isn’t for me.

Most of the time I scale down quilts I have seen when I don’t need another full size quilt for personal use…Sometimes there are “because I can” quilts and I’m also creative with my scraps and selvedges. The poem is lovely.
