It's A Scrappy Mess

I looked out my window and what did I see 

a big snowy mess just a staring at me. 

(Sung to Popcorn Poppin')

Looking out my window I decided it was time to work on my Scrappy Mess.

The Scrappy Mess consists of a bunch of scraps from other 

quilts that I have made in the past. 

The blocks are 15 inches square and there is no 

rhyme or reason to getting them 

put together. 

Just sew. 

I think it will turn out really nice for a boy that needs a 

cozy blanket on his bed now that the weather 

has started to really set in. 

Love,
