Yours are so beautiful and how wonderful to have children help out. Thank you explaining Aichaku , now I know what to call the things I treasure most , things of no great value to anyone but me, the things that have aquired much Aichaku before they became mine and I am now adding more before they become my childrens.

I am currently working on a set of placemats now for my family (my goal is a set of 6) using scraps from my stash. I "accidently" made the first placemat by doing a sample block to try out a new quilting technique and to test the duaribility of the fabrics I would use. After washing and drying my quilt block, it ended up in my kitchen...and my kids started arguing who got to use the placemat at mealtimes. I loved seeing the samples posted here...oh the possibilities! How fun to discover that others are having fun working on the same projects that I am working on now. I was thrilled to read this post.
