Meet Betty's Blues

Allow me to introduce you to another scrappy creation.  This one has an unlikely beginning.

A couple years ago my sister got a phone call from a young lady who knew she was a quilter.  The lady's mom had been a quilter too, and had left behind a boatload of fabric, patterns, and tools.

Would my sister be interested in taking the stuff and sharing it with people who could put it to good use?

I ended up with some of it.

Of course, I also have drawers, boxes, bins, and bags of scraps and cut strips already.  But among the gift fabric, I found a little plastic recipe box that had units pre-cut and pinned together. Obviously Betty had had a plan for these 4 inch squares pinned with 8 smaller matching squares.  I wonder what it was that she wanted to do?

I didn't have much to go on, but I cobbled this together with my already cut scraps and had enough for 25 squares.  This is as far as it's gotten, and I'll probably add a dark blue border to what is there so far.

I hope Betty would like it, even if it wasn't what she had in mind.   What do you think?  Leave a comment.
