This is one gorgeous quilt! I love that it is fully reversible and both sides are fantastic! this ought to last eons, worth its weight in gold. How did you do white binding on one side and black on the other? Did you make them separately and then sew them together? I guess you are free to fabric binge now that you have used all your scraps!

Well... I am speechless... and can only agree with everyone's praise of your gorgeous scrappy quilts. You have inspired everyone. Thank you for taking the time to answer questions. It is so helpful to others you have inspired. I have a tiny question. Years ago I used warm n' natural on a queen size 50th anniversary quilt for my parents and found it to be so very heavy. My Mother had a hard time handling it due to very weak wrists. Would you choose a different batting if you were to repeat this gorgeous reversible quilt again?
And yes, I would definitely try a lighter batting because the Warm & Natural cotton batting did make the quilt heavy. Probably some of the heaviness is due to the zillion seam allowances of the two sides, but having made only two quilts with batting, both times using W & N, I didn't know enough to take that into consideration. (I do now!

I just found the book you used, Quilt Lover's volume 10 at the Meredith publishing site for 14.95 plus free shipping. I just purchased it. Can't wait to get started on my scrap bags. Thank you so much for this inspiring quilt!
