First quilt of the new year.

About 4 years ago I decided that the first quilt of each new year should be all (except the batting) from scraps. Well, for the fourth year in a row I have done it. My son Dillon asked for a new quilt first this year so he got the scrap quilt. Even the back is a sheet that I had in the thrift store bag. I like it, my daughter HATES it. And yes I didn't calculate right and ran out the the blue sashing, I think I hid it ok (lol).

I tried to make the binding wider, it didn't work out for the corners, but I think I learned how for next time-if I remember.

Christina, you did good. I like it!
Already just a few days into the new year and you already have a quilt. I am so in slow motion.
