and her 'fungly' quilt top *VBS* Tonya sent Roz over to the Orphan Train after she saw Roz's fungly challenge top. And I'm soooo very glad she did. Roz's new top is right at home here, made from bits and pieces and old blocks. It's delightful Roz!Here's what Roz had to say about it on her blog, Counterpane:"I used up a lot of fabrics and bits and pieces that have been in my boxes for years and years. Some of those blocks used in the border were cut with a scissors on pencil marks--before I even used a rotary cutter. Some of these fabrics were remnants from the dime store (when dime stores did sell fabrics!). And some of them were cut-offs that I got at rummage sales. In those years, when I was raising three kids, money didn't grow on trees, and there were no fancy quilt stores. The yard goods store was where I bought fabric to make summer dresses and blouses. The left-over bits went into my quilts. I made a few of these blocks especially for the fungly quilt, and the rest were just sample blocks and failed projects. I started thinking, "Is my quilt fungly enough?" Then I realized that that's not the "fungly way" to think! I'm also enjoying visiting other people's blogs to see their fungly masterpieces. I'm going to add a fungly border."

I really enjoy quilts that are made with scraps from clothing we've made. It's like a storybook as well as a quilt. When I was little my sister & I would enjoy learning where each patch came from as we were drifting off to sleep under one of gran'ma's quilts. Thanks for sharing this one!
