Hate to say it, but no dent made in my stash! I'm about halfway through the second scrappy and still not dent made. It's amazing how much ends up being stash from previous projects! At least I'm having fun!

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.

The pattern I used is from Missouri Star Quilt Company's tutorial: The Sticks and Stones Quilt. Here is the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-iD2LPm3Uc The pattern does use 2 1/2" strips. I didn't put the last border on my quilt, but I do like the outside border in the video. 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.
