I finished this one for DH brother and sis-in law. It is TV size (a little smaller than a twin) and backed with flannel. It picks up lint and I used fabric softner-they have a dog-hope with another washing it will be better.

It is my number 4. I have #5 in the planning to be finished by the time my mom comes home from the hospital. 1 week-the race is on!

You did an excellent job on it... I do understand the rat race to get them done :lol:

I absolutely LOVE it! Same pattern as the Amish quilt I want to make. But, hoo boy, it looks just gorgeous in plaids! Really pretty job! Everyone will be THRILLED! I know I would be! That's a keeper! Can I copy your excellence?!!

Oh! I like that. What a great use for scraps. I need to try something like that and clean out my scrap box. Nice job!

I hope everythings ok with your Mom.

I love it!!! Super Job.

That is really nice!! Love the plaids. Did you use up scraps or did you have to go out & buy to get your nice selection? I think it's great!

That is *wonderful*!! I love the way you used a controlled scrappy-ness to make such a fantastic pattern. Would you mind terribly if I "steal" your style?

For this one I bought the plaids and used the "controlled" scrap look.

I made mine with the plaids all scrapy and it has smaller squares and a larger border. I like it but I thought the in-laws would like the "organized" look better.

They opened it this afternoon and LOVE it. I found this version on line and mine is from a book at our local library. Mine is posted:
