Hi Everyone. Wanted to share with you my second scrappy. I posted another quilt called "Up North" maybe two weeks ago. Well this is what I made from the majority of left over fabrics, so this is it's little sister. This is another Thimbleberries pattern called "Northern Reflections". I chose not to add the additional wide boarder to it. The colors in the top are a bit washed out from the camera's flash. Also, the backing is a soft green pattern which really doesn't show up too well either. It was long arm quilted by a local lady, Betty Sue. The panto she used was called "leap frog". I plan to give this to an old, dear friend in a month or so. I've really gotten attached to it's scrappy, cozy little self and am tempted to keep it. Thanks for taking the time to look.

I love it. Can see why you are attached to it.

nicely done

Love it! I want to try!

I like it alot. I sympathize with wanting to keep it. Some of the toughest quilts for me to part with have been scrappies.

I can see why you are attached to it.........It is marvelous. I love the quilting also.:thumbup:

Love,love,love it.........Would be very hard to part with it...

You must be a decorator, as the first pic looks very professional.

I love it too. It looks really comfortable to have around. You did good.

Beautiful.......

Very nice and easy to look at!

Wonderful......

Pretty quilt!

Very nice!

I can easily understand your dilemma, I would have a hard time parting with it also. Great quilt!

Beautiful quilt and I can see why you'd like to keep it!

Sew very pretty!!

Very nice and I like the pattern.

Now that is what I call a snuggle quilt. I can just see you curled up in front of the heater with a good book underneath that gorgeous scrappy.

Nicely done.

Love your quilt and love your house!

It's very pretty. It's great to be able to make a second quilt from your original fabrics. A job well done, my friend!

I like that a lot. The colors and pattern. It may be something to keep in mind for future quilt to make.

I love the colors in your quilt, and love the quilting, too. Maybe, you have enough time to make another one for your friend, and you CAN keep this one.

Very pretty! I love it too.

Love the colors, it just makes you want to cuddle with it

Beautifully pieced and beautiful quilt! Love the panto she used. It's perfect for this quilt. I'd be tempted to keep it too. :)

Awesome! It's a great use of scraps.

Really like this quilt- love the pattern and the colors. Great job!

My hubby would love this quilt! It is so him. :)

Awesome job!

Really nice quilt--sometimes a simple layout is the most striking. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Beautiful!!!!!!

It has such a cozy look to it.

Are those 4 or 6" blocks? How big is the overall quilt? Nice job!

It's beautiful! Isn't it fun how the simple 1/2 square triangle can make such fantastic quilts?

The pattern called for 6-7/8" square blocks, that would make a 6-1/2" triangle pieced square. I rounded up to 7", so if my math is correct, that would be a 6-5/8" triangle pieced square. There are 84 triangle pieced blocks. The lattice and boarders were from 2-1/2" strips. My finished quilt was 58-1/2" x 76-1/2". The original pattern also called for 7-1/2" wide boarders with corner stones that would make a 72" x 90" quilt.

Thanks to everyone for your kind comments.

It's beautiful!
