    I love all the rainbow colors in these quilts! And just look at those vintage sewing machines--better than hand sewing, but not by much. :)

    I have loads of scraps, but I tried the RSC this year and after a couple of months had to admit that there are too many colours of which I have almost nothing. You can use your scraps for improv play.
