The first quilt I made started out to be 9 patch for curtains for my laundry. Well, needless to say it kind of grew. I had lots of scrap pieces that I had gotten from deceased relatives. The quilt ended up being two sided. One side is winter (in blues and rust) and the other side being summer (in yellows and rust). The rust were the shashes between blocks. Only problem I had was when I got it back from the quilter, it was really heavy. Because of all the seams.
The two sides design didn't line up but the quilting was random so it didn't matter.
