Scrap Love

Welcome to Finish it Friday, and another week of featuring a quilt that was started by a volunteer for Covered in Love.  Priscilla from Connecticut sent in these 20 scrappy "Star Cake" blocks and all I had to do was sew them together and quilt it!


I love how cozy and warm this quilt looks. There's just something special about scrap quilts.


I quilted it with an all-over stipple.  I've been putting some miles on my FMQ machine lately.


This beautiful backing fabric was one of the ones Amanda from Louisiana sent me.  It complimented the top perfectly.


Hope you have a great weekend! Meanwhile, enjoy this photo of Rory taking a catnap in her cat-cave.


Covered in Love makes quilts for people who pass away in the hospital.  The current Covered in Love block drive is going on until the end of June if you want to help out.  More info here
