    Oh my, it's wonderful! Scrappy but still so very well put together/thoughtful in regard to color and mood.

    (My mom will be 74 this year...I can only hope to someday give my mom as lovely a quilt as the one you gave yours!) You've inspired me!

    The quilt top is made from my scraps plus a jelly-roll and a few fat quarters. It was fun to make. It measures 80X64. I really like the neutral gray back with the colorful top.
    Lovely quilt, I'm sure your Mom will love it. It's also such a great idea to use up your scraps, I will keep it in mind.

    This is a great quilt. I want to make one like it - well, not quite like it - I'll use my own scraps. Love it, love it.

    You did a great job. I hope she will use it too. I like the srip down the back. That is a cool idea.
