A finished scrap quilt (78 x 82)

 I recently finished a large-ish scrappy quilt.  It's hard to photograph in its present state, but you can see the design clearly in this older picture.


The machine quilting on this project is complete, and it's now labeled and ready to be mailed to its recipient.


Dang, it's hard to photograph a large quilt without getting too much cat hair on it.  I'm glad it's going to a household with a resident cat.


 I used a black and white backing from various flannel fabrics.  The foundation piecing made the quilt heavy enough to skip adding batting.  

It's been a really fun stash buster, and I hope its new owner will get a lot of pleasure from it.

That's cute cat fabric on the back. I see a piece of our favorite hawaiian floral too!

I worry so much about dog hair when people give me quilts to quilt especially the ones with dark backings. I totally understand.

I'm sure the quilt will be loved! Wonderful job!

I love this. Might have to keep the block in mind for future use... :-)
Anymore I seem to be sewing my own hair into the quilts I make as well as our dog's fine strands. I also worry about the dog hair being included in/on donation quilts. The best I can do is to launder them before donating and then leave it in the Lord's hands.
