The fact that it is made almost entirely from scraps. And until I sorted my over-flowing scrap bins into colour order I couldn't see the new quilt possibilities that lay there.
All the strips started out life as 1 1/2 inch across. 99% solids but with the odd patterned piece thrown in for good measure.
The back is some Kona Artichoke with a strip of the centre fabric.

I love that quilt. Just the touch of print fabrics in with the solids makes such a wonderful difference.
Aren't those types of labels great? So quick and easy.
I'm loving the hand stitching. It always seems to add another layer of love to quilts, in my opinion.
