The character, "dream," an outtake from Grid Doodle, resurfaced after yet another frantic dig through the scrap box. As I quilted the relatively subdued-in-color Reveal, my eyes kept ticking over to where "dream" was pinned on the design wall. Its brightness was cheering, and the fabrics I planned to use with it made it glow. I dug deep into my stash for nontraditional quilting threads, and found all kinds of treasures stockpiled from previous projects.
