Here she is, all 64 blocks and 96" square! She's the largest quilt I've ever made.
It's made from Bonnie Hunter's excellent tutorial.
These blocks are SO much fun to make.
Someone said they're like eating potato chips--addictive!
Since this quilt can include "everything," it's a great way to survey your stash.
I found that I have plenty of dotty fabrics, but I'm short on graphics.
I'm also short on light lights and dark darks. So now I've got reasons to shop!
There are plenty of bloopers and things I could change,
but I'm happy with it and can't wait to get it quilted and on the bed!
There's a Flickr group where you can see many more of these quilts here.

Absolutely beautiful!
WOW WOW WOW! I love it! You did a great job with this one.
Just love your version of this quilt. Makes me want to put everything else aside and make one. Gorgeous.
Beautiful! Gad that is fun to look at!!! : )
I'm loving everything you have posted recently. This quilt is such fun to look at.
It looks absolutely fantastic! For me though, this is still in the "someday" category.
Great mix of prints!
Scrapalicious! ... :) Pat
Bravo! It turned out really cute.
Gorgeous! Love seeing these warm colors during the coldest temperatures today.
Congratulations! Wasn't it fun? You're right - a great way to visit your stash. This came out super! Love your fabrics you used, and it just sings!
FANTASTIC!
Love how this turned out. Loads of fun to look at both from the distance and up close. I've got squares sitting patiently for me to act on them.... but they are tiny. Haven't decided what I want to do with them This is a possibility.
Love that word scrapalicious..it about sums this quilt up: scrappy and yummy. Nicely done. I do love your color sense this is just so great looking.
Happy Sewing
It's amazing that a technique like that produces a quilt like this! I'm so happy for you.
yum! this quilt is delicious! I'd be surprised if you have any scraps left after this project. Love it!
Yummy is right! It looks tremendous. I'm sure you can't wait to snuggle under it.
Oh my god!! that's fantastic!

Zow! The scrappy trip along of my dreams!!!
Great Post thanks for all the close up shots. I've been cutting strips and as far as stash survey goes I'm missing the mid-range of colors. Very old lights/tiny flowers and dark Civil War. I was sure I had more brights even if they wern't graphics but ??[read maybe yes maybe no].
Your quilt is perfect for snuggeling under with a book.
fun! congrats! I've been doing a serious lights acquisition cuz I was really low.
This is just too fun....and huge! Love it as always
Totally awesome in every way!
JUICY!!!
LOVE!
I love it so much!
Really Beautiful. I love your colors!
Yay!!! I love it!!! So big and colourful and full of fun fabrics. I'v got some of the same fabrics in my Scrappy Trip, I think that makes us twins :)
Oh that is wonderful! I think I spotted several fabrics that I have in my stash. I am trying to resist this quilt until I get two others finished, then I'm diving in. I love your setting and colors.
Congratulations! Just love it! I would say this very much qualifies as a nifty quilt, it is so big and has so many different fabrics. Your center red diamond is also a very nice touch!
; )
FAN-TAB-U-LOUS! wahoo! here'sto BIG quilts!
LOVE! I think it's the absence of lights and darks - plus your great stash filled with lots of warm colors and great busy prints - that makes this quilt so great!
Woohoo...love it! I made two of these several years ago. One is only list for binding this month...thanks for the reminder. (love your fabrics!)
You managed to outdo yourself....not an easy thing to do! Bravissimo!!!
