Future Heirloom: Clara's Scrap Bag

70 x 89 inches

One of the first quilts I made when I started quilted was Clara’s Scrap Bag. It was a block of the month from a little quilt shop named Quilt ‘N Stitch in West Monroe, Louisiana. Because it was made of 1930’s fabrics, I immediately dedicated it to my grandmother. Clara’s Scrap Bag is a sampler quilt that has 12 different blocks. I hand pieced it, but had it machine quilted. I tea dyed it to give it an antique look.

Take a look.
