It really didn't take all that long to make this quilt. I cut 1.5" strips from most of my scrap pieces, and when the mood strikes I cut them into 1.5, 2.5, 3.5,... 9.5" pieces and separate by light and dark into cheap silverwear containers from Wal-Mart. Then I chain piece the blocks so I'm working with only one strip size at a time.
Thank you everyone for your kind comments.

Thank you, Dunster! I was so ga-ga-eyed over the pictures you first posted that I never even got to page 4, but you can bet I've got it now! Every time I start to kick myself for spending so much time on this board, something like this comes up, and I'm justified again. <G> Bless you, you talented soul!
