Neap Tide - completed!

When life gives you scraps, because you made a mistake, use them to make a quilt!





The heap of mis-sewn and mis-cut fabrics that broke my spirit were conquered and became this!
Why do scraps liberate me? Why will I take chances with them? How can I apply this freedom to all my quilt-making?
