Here is the quilt top I made from Pat Sloan's pattern Little Wishes. She issued the pattern as a challenge to use your scraps. Well, I do have lots of scraps and lots of yardage that needs to be used since it is getting about 25 years old. I looked around my sewing room and spied several pieces of solids that I used in my grandson's little bears quilt. However, I loved the black fabric with the white polka dots that Pat used in her examples, so I purchased some almost like hers. I stitched away and found that I had purchased enough solids to make the border too. Wow! I love this quilt! It is so different from what I usually make, and it feels more modern than I thought I would ever like. I do like this one! It is currently at they quilter's and should be ready for binding this month unless my quilter got too busy with Christmas quilts. For the backing, I used big chunks of what solids I had left. I plan to bind it with the black polka dot fabric. Whew! It used a lot of my scraps, but I still have so much more to use! That will be the fun this winter!
