This is an awesome idea. I love your quilt too! I may need to start working on one for me :)

You just gave me an idea. I think I will purposely make an extra block of every quilt of mine from now on and stitch them together as I accumulate them. It will be a fun memory of each of my quilts! And I think yours is very attractive!

Well, actually, I tried to make it not too ugly...but since it was the title of a thread yesterday...I went with that theme. I'm not unsatisfied with it. I knew that it wouldn't be the nicest scrappy/orphan type of thing I've ever done, but I was able to rescue a whole lot of unused blocks.
For example, the 2 patriotic baskets were given to me by someone who made several in different colors. The only ones NOT in pastels were these 2. So, since I live in Poland, I didn't think patriotic were exactly in the biggest demand, I made the quilt top (charity) out of the others, since it worked out well anyway. That left these two. That's one example of how it happened that i had so many leftover blocks.
