Great quilt. Love the colors and pattern. Your grandson and his wife will love it. Hope you have enough fabric for the backing if you decide to enlarge it. I have a question. Did you square it up before you joined the blocks or did you match and pin the points, sew it, and then cut off the extra?

I squared up each block before sewing into rows. I ordered plenty of backing for back of shams, quilt back and little squares for blocks. Thank you and everyone else for yours and their nice comments.

a friend of mine, here at home, wanted me to tell her what you thought about the finished top. If you liked it you may have regrets offering the scraps or on the other hand you may be glad to see someone really used them.
Thank you so much for the wedding gift!
