What Have I Done?
 

A wallhanging? Me? No way.
I've always thought of quilts as treasures for wrapping around and
comforting.
I've never particularly understood art quilts or had any enthusiasm for
a modern, contemporary sort of abstract.
Nope. Not me. You all just carry on and I'll cheer you on but the
concepts escape me.
I made a string quilt. Began with square muslin blocks. Laid a red
strip on the diagonal and wandered off with warm colors in one direction and
blues/cools in the other. Just using scraps. Diminishing the scrap bin.
That's all.
Put it on the design wall.
It's wonderful. It's gorgeous. I can Not bring me to continue to
turn it into a bed cover. It needs its own wall just for being admired,
considered, thought about. I have created a wall hanging. Now what do I
do? I'm not in Kansas anymore. Polly

Enjoy the different process of a wallhanging
and be at peace with the world

Yes I'm being a little silly, but still, you're having fun aren't you?

Silly question! Hang it on a wall, of course. And take some photos so we
can all see it. After you quilt and bind it. Most of all, enjoy it.

I'm sure I could find it a home if you absolutely don't have any walls at all
in your house.

Nice shot, Maureen. You're getting as good as the best here.
What this WH calls for is a beautiful staircase like the one in Carol
Doak's cd on paperpiecing. We don't have a 2nd story, hardly even have an
attic. Wonder if DH could be persuaded that I really need a staircase?

Welcome to the dark side, Polly! It sounds wonderful. This sounds like a
"heartstrings" variation. It's on my "to do" list for scrap busting too.

ROFLOL! Polly, you're a wonder! What do you do now? Make it large enough
to wrap around yourself (or someone else), stick a hanging sleeve on the
back, and enjoy the best of both worlds -- you can hang it when you want
to look, you can wrap up in it when you prefer that. :)
