I like it! I like it! But then I am very partial to scrappy quilts. Looks wonderful. Bet your nephew will love it, too!

Wonderful quilt and what a fine balance you acheived between order and chaos. Love how you so meticulously set the wonky scrap string blocks.

barny 06-17-2012 03:07 PM

It is so bright and colorful. That's the great thing about scrappy quilts. Really pretty.

gingerd 06-17-2012 03:13 PM

Terrific scrappy!! You've done a super job on this! :)

redquilter 06-17-2012 03:28 PM

I think it's great. Just right for a male.

QUILTNMO 06-17-2012 03:30 PM

very nice scrappy like how you used the dark blue for corner stones

Sandra in Minnesota 06-17-2012 03:30 PM

Great job-love the scrappy quilts!

Marycumi 06-17-2012 04:07 PM

Bright and beautiful, your nephew will love it.

Beautiful scrappy! One day I may try that Mile a Minute, but for now, I will just pass my scraps on!

Beautiful quilt!!!!!!!!!

quiltingcurious 06-17-2012 04:16 PM

It looks like a colorful Wonky Log Cabin, so colorful, bet it appeals to him big time. I love the light blue sashing and the crisp white then navy border edged in lt blue again. You did a super job.

Diane007 06-17-2012 04:21 PM

Good way to use scraps...

mighty 06-17-2012 05:33 PM

Wonderful quilt!!!!

alfosa421 06-17-2012 05:35 PM

Love it Sort of a cross between crazy patch and log cabin-both favorites Great job

Rose_P 06-17-2012 05:39 PM

Great job! Lucky nephew!

cwessel47 06-17-2012 06:06 PM

I really like your quilt but have to question the origin of its name. Were you sewing a Mile a Minute while piecing? Looks like there were no speed bumps on the trip. Your nephew will love it for years and years.

ScrapQuilter 06-17-2012 06:10 PM

great way to use scraps........... I have several quilts like yours and I always have one in progress = make blocks as I get scraps and then when I need a quilt in a hurry I have blocks made up and ready to go.

Tweety2911 06-17-2012 07:30 PM

Wonderful, scrappy quilt! Love it!

Nurse Jan 06-17-2012 08:12 PM

Welcome and congrats. Beautiful job. Beautiful quilt!!

That would be a great name... "Controlled Chaos"! But, no matter what you call this quilt, I call it FABULOUS! I love it & I know your nephew will, too! So glad you're posting here... keep'em coming!

watson's mom 06-17-2012 08:18 PM

I really like your quilt, it's a great use of scraps. I am going to save a picture of it for future reference. Thank you for sharing.

Great job! Beautiful quilt.

dunster 06-17-2012 09:30 PM

Anyone would love that quilt. The blue sashing is a really nice touch.

May in Jersey 06-17-2012 09:34 PM

The sashing and cornerstones really bring out the best in the crumb blocks. Nephew is going to love it. May in Jersey

dilyn 06-18-2012 02:44 AM

Very nice indeed! Love the blue sashing and that little white border really sets off the piecing! nice work!
