The
Victorian Hexagon Quilt is finished! I feel pretty proud.. Not only to have finished it but I will be starting to quilt it soon too. Yes, I am staying on track and not let that one go inside the closet.

Before I start quilting the quilt, I decided to use up those cut-away scraps from the hexagon blocks. As much as I enjoyed making a quilt using foundation piecing method, I wasn't ready to throw away anything just yet.
So, I cut bits and pieces and used what I could and made a little quilt top.
Yes, I can not emphasis enough on the word "little".
It is an 8" x 8" quilt, I would like to call "Fragments". It represents the memories left in fragments. In this case, the memories of my recent quilt and it's process.
I am making it to donate for the AAQI. For which it represents the fragments of memories left in a brain struck with Alzheimer.
I just found out that the quilt I made last year was sold. A perfect time for me to start another one.
What are your scraps being used for? Mine are going for a good cause.
Visit
AAQI to learn more about the project. Help any way you can.
Here is another one I will be hand quilting next week.
Remember, scraps are fast and fun way to make unique quilts.
Can't make a big quilt? Make a small one and donate it to
AAQI.
It doesn't take that much time.. Just the will to make it happen.
