Blogger's Quilt Festival - Scrappy


A scrappy collection of yellows and blues

 
Fall 2014 BQF ButtonI am entering the Blogger's Quilt Festival at  Amy's Creative Side.   One of the categories is a scrappy quilt, and I want to share the scrappy blue and yellow quilt I made for my mother earlier this year.  You can read and see more about this quilt here.
     I believe I used about 40 different fabrics in this quilt, all left over from earlier projects.

     I also pieced together the back with leftovers from an earlier quilt project.   I love a good scrappy finished piece.

Thanks for looking!
Take care,
