On a whim, I used a vintage pieced top that I was given on the back of it. The vintage top was pretty badly stained, but just the right size for the back of this. I had hoped that the stains might wash out, but they didn't.
It still makes a lovely, cuddly and colorful quilt, so I am offering it in my Etsy shop at a good price!
So many fun print! I bound it with dark green - and quilted it with a nice neutral. It measures 57 x 6 inches.

I have lots more scraps and lots more telephone book pages to fill. But I think my next scrap quilt will be something different. I'll have to look for a pattern and decide. First I have a few custom projects to get finished, so time to work on those now. I have several more finished tops to quilt before I will be ready to start a new top anyway - I'm working on those UFO's!
I haven't been great at working on my Crazy Jane lately, but here's a block from last week:
Love how this one came out!
I've been laying low with a busy week and a bit of a cold, but I'm looking forward to a good afternoon in my sewing room today - definitely my happy place! I'm linking up with Busy Hands Quilts as well as CrazyMomQuilts to show off my finishes.
Wishing you a productive and fun Friday, what are you finishing?

A string quilt is definitely on my to-do list...once I build up enough scraps!
Gotta LOVE a String Quilt!! Perfect use of that old quilt top you were given for the backing.
