I really used a lot of reds and blues in this quilt, but, of course, the bins don't look any emptier. 
The quilter, Linda at Just Sew in Highland, Utah quilted lots of stars and loops and it looks amazing! I am in awe of her ability to take a very lopsided, unsquare, quilt and turn it into a very beautiful work. She even trimmed all the edges and batting for me so it was ready to add binding. The binding was even from my big bag of beautiful leftover bindings.
I'm very fond of using flannel for my backs now and found this blue and white piece at the Fabric Mill in Orem. I love it that the only thing I had to buy for this quilt was the backing. The reds, whites and blues were all tucked away in my cupboards. I think this counts as a semi-free quilt.
Happy Quilting! Lynda

Very nice. Great use of your scraps.
I love flannel too and have considered switching to it for backing. Do you find it hard to free motion quilt over at all? just wondering if it slides easily.
Lynda! Cieszę się, że odwiedziłaś mój blog. Widziałam Twoje patchworki. Są bardzo ładne. Pozdrawiam serdecznie.
Lynda! I am glad that you visited my blog. I saw your quilts. They are very nice. Yours sincerely.
It's stuning... so fresh looking...and I love that it is unsquare and stash busting to boot! Makes one feel GooD when you use up bits and pieces! :)
