I'm afraid the quilt I am showing popped up on my blog only a couple of weeks ago. So for those of you who have already seen it, I went out this morning in what felt like Day 963 Of Rain to take some more pictures of it so you are sort-of-kind-of-in-a-roundabout-way getting something new to look at.

| Note nice rain smudge in centre of piccy please |
I strip pieced random scraps together of varying widths, squared up to 8 1/2 inches square, sliced out the sides with the ruler and then replaced them with various black and white scraps.
In some ways it was a good scrap buster because you really get through all your coloured scraps...you're just left with a new pile afterwards of black and white scraps.
I really like the backing fabric.
Please take the time to visit some of the others who are entering the Bloggers' Quilt Festival.
And thank you to Amy for all the effort and time she has put into this - it is appreciated.
