Down Memory Lane

88 X 98 queen size quilt, pieced by Nancy Smith; quilted by Golden State Sewing Center.
Begun March 2013, completed August 31, 2013.
This quilt is composed of scraps of many of the previous quilts and projects over the years.
It includes fabric scraps from the second quilt I ever made in 1982 to the last quilt I made in August 2013. The scraps are from baby quilts, Hugs and Stitches, quilts, purse projects, craft projects, other bed size quilts, wall hangings, placemats, etc.  It has been fun to look at some of those old fabrics and remember the occasions for which they were used.  Many were for gifts and others were for my own use.
The pattern, What's The Point, is from Fons and Porter Love of Quilting magazine, March/April 2013.
