After all was said and done, it came out wonky and horribly flawed. Good thing none of that matters when you are trying to stay warm.
    I have been working on my..."no rules, autobiography of every quilt I have ever made" scrap quilt for a couple of years now and I get happy whenever I work on it. It will be a queen sized quilt and I will TREASURE it when it is finished. I LOVE it now. When finished I will love it even more! Congratulations on your quilt my fellow quilt "traveler". Isn't life fun when you wrap yourself in quilting and quilts? There are NO flaws in these. They are what they are supposed to be, just like us! Hugs

    I think that's rather cute - a one of a kind. Look at all the different fabrics - love it. Great job.

    I love it! It reminds me of the days (old days) when we cut up dresses and aprons to make quilts and the kids would stand around looking for their shirt, dress or whatever. Everyone loved those quilts.

    Your throw turned out really great. My grandma use to make quilts this way. I do not think that she followed any rules ether.
