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 centre rectangle was a Suzuko Koseki print with the exception of this one above. I have no idea what it is, just a fragment of French writing which came with the complimentary scrap bag you get when you make an indulgent order here. I like that I have managed to find a home for it. I've also just noticed that's three lines of quilting I've missed out!
The back is some Kona Artichoke with a strip of the centre fabric.

And can you see that something sewn into the left hand binding?
It's this.
