Too many scraps!

I have been sewing quilt tops since about 1988 because my Grandmother had been a quilter, and at the time I thought it would be nice to make one quilt and follow in her footsteps - foolish, foolhardy and I should have known better. Since then, I have a scrappy pile (piles) which I try to reduce every now and again. Unfortunately, I can get easily side-tracked by a new pattern or a new idea or even the lovely sunshine.
So presently and at last count, I have 17 UFOs. Yikes! I need to…

I am new to this blogging thing, and I so now I will try to add some pictures of some of my quilted projects. Most are unfinished, some only needing a sleeve to be added to the back, others need the binding sewn down. This quilt is not quite finished (binding), and as you can see it is a scrappy quilt. My kindred group and I made a flower pot quilt, and they all gave me the left over scraps. This is the quilt with the left overs. I added some of my own fabric, and I tried to add a machine…
