THREADS OF HOPE

 Some quiltmaking activities stretch the maker's creativity more than others.  This type of quilt is that kind of growth experience.

The first step was to decide on a color plan; and with my frugal personality, that always figures into the supply of on-hand scraps of fabric.  Do I have a plan and size in mind for a suitable design that will achieve my final goal?  Have I done the math and drawn up the basic design on paper?  Do I want to add embroidery, applique, or other embellishments?  How will I quilt the top?  Is it all workable with my limitations?  Lots of questions to be answered with creativity necessary at every step.  Always a learning experience.

Here is the end product --- threads of hope!!
