What a beautiful quilt. Your color choices are so striking, I love your combination.
Sometimes I don't use my leftover pieces either. I keep them in baggies and one of these days I'm going to use them for a collage'd jacket or purse. Oh...to have more time....

He is a musician and owns a piano bar. I am including a pix of the back of the quilt so you can see the quilting pattern. I just love it!

Pat, wow, it looks like you used all of the cut off pieces for the border. I am so impressed!!! I saved mine to use in crumb square blocks!! Very pretty too!
