Boy, once I get focused on something, it doesn't take me long to get it finished.
I posted a few blocks last Sunday, and now it is already a quilt top. I used a bunch of backing scraps for all the fabric. That is why long and narrow pieces worked so well. I am really happy with how it turned out. I should finish piecing the backing today and hopefully get it quilted up this week. I am so pleased with how many scraps I was able to use up. The blocks are 8" so this will be a nice size for Many Hands and Many Hearts.
Now I need to identify another scrappy idea to use up more scraps. I still have a lot of blue chunks so maybe I will just do something monochromatic with simple squares.
That will be a task for another day....
