Here it is the quilt of scraps. After cutting as many scraps as I could into 1.5 inch with strips, I started piecing this together. The fabric is mostly randomly placed, however, the overall pattern of the giraffes was painstakingly drawn and measured. So now the many many many 1 inch strips are positioned just so to make this lovely scene. The overall dimensions are 36 across and 56 long. There will be another one representing the night sky. These two quilts each the same size will be a focal point on my living room wall. It will be quite a statement at around 6 feet across. I am happy with the way it turned out, and would you even guess that most of the seams actually match up!!! Now I am not sure how I want to boarder this, if at all. Any ideas, suggestions? I can't wait to get started on the next one.

Oh my goodness. I saw this on Flickr, and just had to stop by because I love it. So much. Can't wait to see the night sky!
Just curious, how long did this take you? Very neat!!
