Have you ever made a quilt that you love so much it hurts to give away? I just made one like that, and I knew it was the perfect quilt for my mom.
I finished the binding in a hotel room, so here is the oh-so-dark photo of it on a hotel bed:
And the backing:
I pieced this entirely from my scraps. I used:
(448) 5-inch squares for the top
(64) 10 1/2" squares for the backing
300 inches of leftover red and green binding strips
I found a volunteer to hold it up in the parking lot for a better chance of showing the true colors:
I tried for a close-up of the quilting, too:
When will it be spring so I can take decent photos of quilts again???

What a gorgeous scrap quilt! You surely made a dent in your stash. I had one of those quilts - I made it for my daughter, but when finish I was so in love with it. I did give it to her. It now hangs in her family room.
love your quilt
Gor-gee-ous!!!! I love the mix of shades of reds and greens---the whole quilt, AND quilting, is awesome!!!!!
A wonderful job. I like the play of the scrap colors. I hope there are a lot of memories in there also.
