This is a big scrap quilt ( 91"x 91") with lots of little pieces. I started it back in December of last year.
Every bit of the fabric came from my stash, a lot of it came from bags I call my scrap trash: scraps that are too small and ugly to bother sorting. There is a piece of a maternity dress I made 26 years ago, scraps from the bandanas my dogs got at the groomers, scraps given to me by my mother and a quilting friend. I estimate 6.5 yards of scraps are in this quilt.

Laura this is stunning! There are some great memories in this quilt, I hope working on it helps you through this difficult time.
For ugly bits of fabric, this sure is beautiful. And those pieces MUST be miniscule. Are those 7" blocks?
I do believe mindless sewing is the best meditation. This quilt top is gorgeous--in my colors! I love them all. I, too, appreciate mixing my materials to include special memory fabrics, and will pick them out by sight as soon as I open a quilt up. Keep going, keep sewing, and I'll keep you in my thoughts.
Really, really lovely! Soooo much trimming! Gorgeous!

Awesome! I love scrap quilts and I LOVE this one!
Congratulations on an amazing finish!
Looks great! Bonnie is coming (again) to our guild next May. I signed up for her Tulip quilt. I've never finished the last quilt, from when she came in 2012.
Wow! I'm amazed that you still have scraps left after this quilt :) It looks great.
