I was a complete silly person and posted my first finished quilt for 2010 in it's own thread. It really should have been here. You can find the story for it by following this link. I'll still post pics here.

I figured out a very important fact in this quilt. If you are cutting small pieces, do not cut it from a medium size print, then get upset when you cut off everything you want to keep. Here is a pic of what the yellow fabric started like. Only in one spot on the quilt was the cub scout logo intact.

Here's a close up of the backing material. It's so pretty, and very "scouty".

Now, if I could just get someone from the campout to email me a picture of the completed quilt with Nate once he received it. 25 families, you would think SOMEONE would have taken a picture of the blasted quilt!!
