Postagestamps

I'm hoping to finish one UFO per month this year and this one was finished in January.  It has been too cold and rainy-grey for me to get a photo until today.  The little fabric squares were mailed to me from all over the world.  I have collected them for years and years.  And pieced them together for more years and years.  I'm not sure it was worth it, though it's warm enough--I know because I've been wrapped in it since it came out of the dryer a couple of weeks ago.  This has been the perfect winter for testing it.  It is made of 1560 teeny tiny one-inch squares and measures 75 x 55.

  1. I was startled to read, "I'm not sure it was worth it." I think your quilt looks amazing and knowing that the squares came from all over the world just adds to the beauty. Of course, I didn't have to spend years collecting the fabric and sewing all those tiny pieces together. I hope you enjoy your beautiful quilt for many years to come.
