I am wrapped up in it as I write. That trip through the washer completes my reasoning for this quilt. I&#39;m not sure if you can really create a quilt out of laziness but that is how this one started: I had this lovely bag of scraps from Erin but I wanted to wash them before they went into my stash and I was just too lazy to wash and...
