What a fantastic idea to have in a quilt in a vehicle, especially since we live in Maine. We j just lost power for more than a day from Sunday's storm. There were a lot of trees down. Thank you for sharing the YouTube link.

Maybe the next time I'll add that border.

My first big quilt was what I call a picnic quilt. It just rides around in my car for spur of the moment needs: a picnic, bum warmer when sitting on bleachers, caught in a snow drift or grandchildren who are wet from swimming in Lake Michigan (aka Grammie's Pond). Love your pattern and use of scraps. Are all 2.5 strips? I'll PM.
