Thoughtful Thinking Thursday #99 ~ Reminded of Fishes and Loaves

Last Friday I mentioned I worked with scraps

and Saturday I showed a block made from those scraps.

Funny thing about those scraps.

 I sorted

 and matched, and sewed and trimmed

  and matched, and sewed and trimmed

 and matched, and sewed and trimmed

for about 90 minutes and turned out 6 twelve inch blocks

and still had this!

and this

after another 2 hours of matching, sewing and trimming and

when what to my wondering, blurry eyes appeared?

this↓

AND I still had this!↓

I thought about the fishes and the loaves written about in John 6: 1-14

 and retold several more times in the New Testament,

because when I finished I still collected 2 baskets of scraps!

I THINK my scraps were multiplying on the table before I could use them?

When they do get down to be so small that a quarter inch seam would eat them up,

they go to the "Doggy Bag" at the local quilt shop called Birdsong.

"THINK about it."
