The front is made from all the pink pieces I could find in my stash. The back is made from all the blue pieces I could find. I did not cut any of the strips to size, they are the width that I had. Only the half-square triangles are cut but from pieces that I already had at that size.
I was experimenting with a quilt as you go method, so it went together fairly quickly. :-)
So, I guess we can say it is a sample for the scrap challenge. The happy couple received the blanket yesterday and were delighted with it, thank God. :D

Connie: I really like your boy/girl quilt idea. I also like the way you did the blocks. All the same fabric half triangle in each diagnol (Sorry about the spelling...too early in the am, I think! :roll: ) row sewed to what looks like a scrappy triangle to make your square blocks. Cool! I like it.
