I love how your batiks are so bright with the white background. Lovely scrappy!

Your lap quilt is sure to make a guy happy!

Beautiful scrappy, Sewbizgirl. I love the set in triangles being scrappy too. I have never thought of scrapping that up. I always think I have to find enough of a single fabric. Kind of hard for scrappy girls! Thank you for posting. Looks great.

Thanks! Yes, I used my 2.5" stash of batik scrap squares and everything came out a bit bigger, so less blocks needed to get to the size I wanted. I've done several QuiltedTwins.com patterns with 2.5" squares, rather than 2", because that's what I have.

This one ended up 60"x68", for a twin bed.

Your quilts are beautiful. I especially like the first one and that is a great idea of using white muslin. May I ask where you purchase your white muslin? I have been going to LQS to get white on white fabrics but it is getting quite pricey and your muslin looks so nice on your quilt.
