Actually, crazy patches can be used instead of regular fabric as part of the design for any number of simple quilt blocks, like nine patch, windmill, shoo-fly, etc. I guess that's why I can use an empty coffee can next to my sewing machine for any scraps I'm throwing away, as they will be very tiny. I use two laundry hampers to store my scraps. No matter how many scraps I use, it seems that those hampers are always full to the brim!

I like your patriotic quilt. It has a primitive look and that's what I like. Good job.
Thanks for stoppin' by my blog. The news says the 219,000 arces burning now has a 20% containment. Not much but progress!
