Scrappy Scrumptious!

I've had the top of this quilt ready for a few months now, and I love it!  

I think this is my favorite quilt I've made...

It is a big twin quilt, so I had to go visit our church building, lay out the backing, batting, and top on 2 big tables, so I could pin it together for the finishing quilting lines without killing my back or my hips!

This quilt was pretty simple to make, but took a long time.  

There were MANY leftover blocks from a few other baby and lap quilts I'd made in the last couple years.

I made a few more, so it wouldn't need much in the way of borders, and I love it!

The colors are far brighter than what my phone camera showed on these pictures.

I think this is the first quilt I've finished with the intent to use it in the house, but not for anyone in particular.

This is going to go on an extra bed upstairs, after Andy gets tired of it being small on top of our queen quilt.

In my mind, I pictured smaller intersections of lines...I didn't think ahead of time that I should have stitched on the actual seams, rather than diagonal to them.

But, it works.

My favorite quilting mantra is--

FINISHED IS BETTER THAN PERFECT.

Andy is tall and has long arms.  He's my official quilt holder when one is finished.

I'm trying not to go buy new fabric anytime soon, since my fabric stash is so full.

These fabrics were in the craft room.  Neither was quite big enough on their own, so I pieced them.
