The best thing about this quilt? 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. Daughter No. 2 wants to know if you can spot her bunny ears fingers. I like how the back shows off all the hand quilting. And can you see that something sewn into the left hand binding? It's this. My new as in 'never bought labels for my quilts before'. Bought from here. And the front. Linking up again with Amanda Jean's Finish It Up Friday and 12 quilts in '12.
