It's beautiful. You did a great job putting all those colors & patterns together. The constant use of the square holds it all together. I recognize some of those fabrics as having/had them myself!

OMG I love this idea. Is there a tute or pattern on how you get that diamond going thru the center? Do you just add a square on the end of the strip? As many have commented - that's what sets this quilt apart from others.

SORRY - just went back for a closer look and see you have attached a link. THANKS so much.

This scrappy is a real show stopper! It is a wonderful blend of fabrics. I think the small sashing strip and beginning square bring a consistent point of interest. I can't help but wonder how many quilts you can make with 20 years of scraps. I think you have inspired lots of us. Great idea and a beautiful quilt.

I love it. Well done. It has Spring feel about it. The continued use of the same fabric for the lattices and that of the squares on point through the quilt seems to unite the many colours together. Very nice.
