Scrappy Trip is Done!


Stitched in the ditch, all 96" x 96" of her.  




Although I could quilt lots more, I think it's enough.  





Here she is, wrapped around my sewing chair.





Folded up and ready for her new assignment.





Resting pretty on the bed!

(Just in time for my birthday--today!  Shhh!)





I think the reds are going to like this pattern too!

    Belated happy birthday wishes! I think you may have created another convert to Bonnie's scrappy trip method too. I've been wondering what to do with my leftover 2.5" strips, something different. I did a traditional Trip a long time ago... It may be time to revisit the pattern. But probably not quite as big as yours!
