This is what I finished over the weekend. The pattern is called 9-patch variation and is an easy pattern to make. Thirty two of these blocks were blocks that I won at our quilt-guild's BOM-lottery--I made 8 of them. At our house you make quilts big enough to use...not just big enough to cover your legs...so I made 48 more to add to make the scrap quilt very usable for a bed covering. The 9-patch blocks are 9" finished--so you have an idea how big it really is--you can also see partial pieces of my two quilt-holder-uppers.
It will probably get borders of some kind, but it's to a stopping point where I can show it at guild next week so the next winner can see what can be done with blocks won.
It turned out to be sunny and bright saturday and then warmer on Sunday so it turned into a decent weekend after the Friday flood.
I forgot to post where I got this pattern. Definitely want to give Marge the credit!
Delaware Quilts is listed on my sidebar and her list of BOM's have many great opportunities. This is the second time I've made this quilt. Just turning the blocks a different way give it a totally different look.

What a cute quilt. What good luck to win the blocks, and great job making up the extras!
You're also lucky to have tall helpers at show-and-tell time!

I came looking for the string quilt with stars, lol BUT I had to close my eyes when I got to your breadsticks recipe. I adore garlic breadsticks, and my hips and butt are living proof!
More quilting, less eating, is what I need to do. :)
LOL -- "big enough to use, not just cover your legs."

Lovely quilt top!
Love you quilt! You forgot to catch the windmill in the back! LOL
As always, your work is lovely and good for you for making the quilts big enough for real people. How nice to win a bunch of blocks .... I have a bunch of green Bears Paw blocks from a Guild win - you've reminded me that they're still sitting waiting to be put together.
A great quilt. Love the way the sun is shining through it.
It is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That looks so great that don't you know I am adding it to my list of things I HAVE to do.
I agree with you on the size. I always feel that I need the quilt more than my wall does.
