When we were still in Florida and I went to the monthly quilt guild meetings, members always shared their bounty. Many times, I'd take patterns or unloved fabric to the meeting so someone else could rehome and use them. On one occasion, a member brought a couple of "cutter" quilts to give away. This is the one I chose.
In case you're unaware of what a cutter quilt is, it's a quilt that is starting to fall apart and is likely beyond repair. In which case, the good bits can be cut apart and reused for other projects. Such is the case with this piece, which was obviously put together with loving hands, and then well-used.
There are lots of sections with completely different colors, so I'm going to cut them; perhaps add hand or machine embroidery; and then reassemble them in new ways. I have a few ideas in mind, and plan to play with it a bit this week.
As always, you can expect photos when I have completed works to share. I work today, and yesterday was baking day, so I'm looking forward to playing in the studio later this week. We'll see whether my actions can match up with my grandiose plans.
