I'm marking this page so I can return and look at it again and again. JUST BEAUTIFUL!
No, they still think I'm crazy. They love the quilt, but they tell me they would never do it. I know a couple of people are going to try one though. It is really not much different than a big quilt, you just get to the end of your seam much faster. I gave a close up shot to show that I used anything and everything as far as fabric in the quilt. To me that's the whole idea of scrappy. Another thing I did as a suggestion, is if a fabric was a little too bright for where I wanted to use it, I used the back side of the fabric.

Thanks everyone for all you nice comments.
