Squash Blossom Quilt

Here's a quilt I threw together this week using large leftover flannel fabrics from 5 different quilts. 
I cut it out on Tuesday and sewed the blocks. Then I completed the top on Wednesday. So fast because the blocks are 9 inches.

Here's the back using orange flannel from a Halloween quilt and snowflakes from a winter themed quilt. 

I quilted it with Tiger swirls from Anne Bright. There's a wet spot on here from the dog licking on it. I already washed and dried it to get the crinkly look. Quilted it yesterday.

I used up 3 wide strips of batting that were cut off of other quilt projects. I just put the first one down and quilted it. When I got near the end of that one I lifted the quilt top and put the next one on. Etc.

Put the binding on today.  So I used up a bunch of leftovers for this entire quilt. 
Nothing new was purchased for this quilt. It measures 62 x 68.  I think I'm going to make a couple of more like this to use up more large leftovers. It clears out some stash really fast and those batting pieces that take up so much room. It's a win!!
