It makes me wish I had a basketful of scraps to play with today!

If you've been visiting here a while you will have seen the various play quilts I have made over the years (one for each child), also from simple squares (albeit much larger than postage stamp size!). The quilts still get used all the time, especially for a DVD treat.

 

It doesn't get much better than snuggling under the blankets on a rainy day, watching Mary Poppins while we wait for Dad to come home from an extra long day at work!
