Quilt maker Heather Hochbaum has donated a quilt to the Western Development Musuem.
Cheryl Stewart, WDM volunteer co-ordinator, says the quilt is being offered as a raffle prize.
Hochbaum says a pattern, Star Crazy, in Quiltmaker Magazine, was her inspiration. The piece is machine sewn and quilted.
Hochbaum explains the journey from scraps to work of art.
"In 2005 my husband and I moved into Battleford from the Wilkie area. I realized then that the four very large totes of scraps I had needed to be reduced to a more manageable level. That year I also was ill and so was off work. On a good day I was able to cut out 10 to 15 one and a half and two and a half inch squares. It took me all winter to finish the top.
"Each square was cut out separately and sewn square by square instead of strip piecing. This is how the pioneers would have pieced and sewn their quilts. The top stayed in my sewing room until 2011 when I finished it using scraps of flannelette backing."
Hockbaum describes the quilt as reflecting the pioneer tenant of "waste not want not!"
Stewart says tickets for the quilt are now on sale and proceeds from the raffle will be used at the North Battleford branch for educational programming.
