This is one of the things that has kept me quiet this week. Its massive, and sorry not a good pic. The only spot I could find today to take it was, well, hanging from a couple of posts left over from our old chicken pen, and not the tidest bit of our yard... The quilt top is a large queen sized and you might be able to see what all those 1" squares were for in the last post. Three strips of 82 squares and I have sewn them all together to make up one of the strips for the quilt.I've used heaps of fabric scraps and pieces that were difficult to use outside their range. Now I have to quilt it...

And this is it all folded up. Very randomly pieced..jpg)

I love your quilt Rachel. What a great way to use up the scraps - might have to have a think about that one!
WOW, that is totally awesome Rachel - you said it was big and all those iddy biddy squares - you have a hell of a lot of patience.
I love it! The colours look fantastic against the white.
Oh..it is wonderful...well done!!
And the the swap.. fantastic work done..:o)
Oh I love that quilt! Want to swap it for a child? How about a puppy???
Love your new quilt. Great way to use up your scraps.
Pretty quilt. Terrific use of scraps. I can not tackle machine quilting anything so large and admire anyone who can manhandle it through the sewing machine!
I just love your tea swap gifts. :o)
That quilt is gorgeous. I love the simplicity of it - it shows off the fabric scraps to perfection. x
WOW.!! Love this Quilt...
cheers
Hooray - now I can comment on your blog - I have a scrap quilt like that in my future . What a good feeling to make a quilt just from scraps. it may keep me out of the quilt shops for a while.
I love the quilt, but I can't see squares, they look more like rectangles?
The teapots are very lovely, can imagine you are happy with them!
That's one of the loveliest quilts I've seen in a long time - the eclectic mix of fabrics is VERY easy on the eye. Magic.
Wow Rachel! It's absolutely GORGEOUS! And I love that random strip of teeny tiny squares! You are amazing!

The quilt is stunning Rachel. What a fantastic idea using up all those scraps and they look amazing against the white. Well done.
The unseen work that has bought this quilt together neeeds a big hand of applause. Great work of art.
love the quilt Rachel! I have been thinking of making myself a chinese coin quilt with all my little scraps and lots of white too.
