Scrap Buster!

In yet another  attempt to tackle the 'scrap basket' I ended up with this 3D scrap quilt that weighs 4.5 kilos (9lb 14oz) .  It's a Folded log cabin block  and I used  the  Quilt as you go method  to make up the 5 inch blocks.  This was a labor of love and   also a weight lifting exercise for my fingers and hands. 

It proved to be very  nostalgic project that   brought back memories of the  nights at my grandmother's house in the village where we  used  the  Paploma ( traditional Cyprus Quilt) for  covers.  I didn't understand the value of the weight  back then but I knew that  the sleep was sweet and restful.  No doubt the love we felt was a key factor to good rest  but I am thinking that the  weighted blankets (also used for  pressure therapy) may have also  helped with the sleep quality. 

 I'm  keeping this one ! -  Nonie
