My father told me that his grandmother, Minnie, used to
make quilts. They were not art, he assured me, just made up of
snippets of old clothes , so as not to waste fabric and used to keep
warm. He remembers one, he says, all in grays and blacks and plaids.
Not art, he says, not meant to be beautiful.
Sounds like beauty to me. Maybe even art...

Fabric for fussy cutting
Don't these lovlies look nice for fussy cutting with patchwork of the crosses- my latest inklingo addiction!
Hey, Martha - nice to hear from you! I spent several hours on the inklingo site last night, and had to make some decisions. I decided to keep to cardstock hexagons - as much as I liked the inklingo stuff, I have thousands of (free) hexagons and lots of scrap fabric to use with them. Maybe when I use them all up, I'll switch. I"m tempted by the various shapes, though - especially the diamonds.
Those are FABULOUS!!! I am not sure I could actually bring myself to cut them (hehe). Can't wait to see what you make of them.
