The front is made from all the pink pieces I could find in my stash. The back is made from all the blue pieces I could find. I did not cut any of the strips to size, they are the width that I had. Only the half-square triangles are cut but from pieces that I already had at that size.
I was experimenting with a quilt as you go method, so it went together fairly quickly. :-)
So, I guess we can say it is a sample for the scrap challenge. The happy couple received the blanket yesterday and were delighted with it, thank God. :D

If your little girl grows into her feet she may be a BIG girl! Thank you for rescueing her when nobody wanted her. It makes my heart happy to hear of people like you who will take an unwanted animal and give it a loving home. There are so many homeless animals. THANK YOU!
