The quilt is 37.5"x52.5". The machine quilting is rather quick and dirty - there is a star where the horizontal and vertical darker rows cross, surrounded by concentric stars. The scraps in this quilt come from many projects, including: seven sets of coasters, a table runner, two chickens, an owl, and a turtle, an unfinished wedding quilt, three other baby quilts, several charity blocks, and one wall-hanging. These projects now live in at least seven countries and three US states! I wrote some of this down for little P.S.C.'s mom - I know she'll enjoy getting a little of this quilt's history - we once did a presentation together at a conference that connected quilts with rewriting in literature.

A true scrap quilt indeed! I always love "connecting" my quilts together with scraps from previous projects. I am sure the little boy will just love the quilt!
Cheers!

Now that is a quilt with some international flare *s* I'm sure it will be much loved.
Lovely quilt! I see it's already Tuesday in Finland...still Monday here in East Tennessee!
Lovely job--I keep admiring the mixture of brights and muted colors. This will keep the little one warm and snuggly for a long time! *s*

Well done, Jen! Onto its new owner and one to cross of the "to-do" list.
Gorgeous quilt, and it's truly international.
What a neat and different way to use your scraps! And great job for getting it done!
Oh well done!!! I am sure the little fella will just love it.
And good on you for not being so predictable with the mothers theme!
I´m shure it´s a quilt with all your love and if you once meet the little girl, you can tell her many stories from this and that fabric´s in this lovely quilt.
What a nifty little baby quilt with a wonderful story about the fabrics! A real treasure for the little one.
You certainly have been busy! Congratulations on all you've been accomplishing while I've been "away" from blog reading.
