Oh, absolutely! Every square feels like a secret diary— the way a faded plaid remembers the first winter, the bright floral whispering about summer hikes, even that stray tartan that got stuck in a zipper tells a tale of adventure and a little fabric rebellion. I love pausing to listen before I cut, because each patch has its own whisper waiting to be stitched into something new.

I think it’s a mix of both. The threads hold the memory, but when you press a square together, it’s like the fabric is saying, “Remember this?” It’s the story that’s always inside, just waiting for you to pull it out with a stitch.
