Purple Preemie Quilt From "SCRAP" Bag


When cutting more 6 inch strips from my "scrap" bag this week, I realized that I had enough purples and creams to make a Preemie Quilt for the local Neonatal Unit. Now, I just need to get some flannel for the back.
On another note, I'm not so sure I like the term "scrap" bag. It brings up thoughts of something I really should toss. So I looked up "scrap" in the online Thesaurus and found "bit, chip, crumb, drop. fraction, fragment, grain, leftover, morsel, ort, piece, remnant, shred, snippet, speck, waste." Hmmmm, remnant isn't bad so I looked it up and found "ash, balance, crumb, dreg, end, fragment, leftover, ort, part, piece, portion, rag, relic, remainder, remains, residual, rump (LOL), scrap, shred, stub, trace, vestige." I'm still pondering this but am leaning toward "remnant". Any thoughts?

Definitely remnant. My remnants are some of my favorite treasures!

Love your cheerful preemie quilt, Julie.

I hope to see you at the FAA in Oct. Tomorrow is the first meeting of the Quilting Arts Alliance in Athens! (We already have a Fibercraft Guild and didn't want to step on any toes.)

Very pretty. But I still like scrap bag, it sounds old fashioned and quaint.

I'm not really into fabric, as you know, I still have to sew just seams into the edges of my cupboard curtains, however, I think you should call it your remnant rag bag. Hahaha. That's a fun name.

But that does sound like something dead. Hmm, maybe you should call them leftovers.
