Crazy Scrap Quilting

Today I know that this is my life.  If I want to sleep all day and quilt all night, I will.
So, there..'The inside tape that runs through my brain:
"Idle hands are the work of the devil"
No one said it....I just feel it.
I vow to be grateful...
Thank you Kara for your inspiration.
Now...on to the quilt with no hope..or..
Maybe, a little hope.
A jelly roll made of scrap 2.5 inch strips...
Last year when I took my machine to the nursing home
to help my new knee replacement.heal.
I made a jelly roll quilt.
I cut it all up and have finished one so far...
This is crazy, uneven challenge number two.

 Fabric is funny....the zig-zag green in the cross lattice, I hated.
The border fabric was crazily unloved...yet...
The miracle of fabric, is that there is a place for it all.
Just like people...a place for everyone.
.I have these left for another challenge.

Giving me hope in the morning light...
From my sewing room window...the dawn has come and
Morning has Broken..

"When my husband was dying, I said: 'Moe, how am I supposed to live without you?' He told me: 'Take the love you have for me and spread it around.'"
