It went to a friend with cancer. he passed and his wife still uses the quilt for herself, so she is wrapped in him.

What a pretty quilt. I know what you mean by no end to them. It seems when I do a quilt with scraps there is always one color I don't have as much as I think the quilt calls for so I get some more of that color and see a few other fat quarters that I think will look good and BAM I have more than I started with.
You did a great job, it's on my todo list
