First Finish Of 2019

I just finished this quilt, named "Growing Up Odd". The free tutorial can be found HERE on the Wedding Dress Blue blog. I used 2 1/2" squares instead of 2" squares as it states in the pattern. It is quilted all over with roses and leaves. I was getting tired of stitching all those roses, but I slogged on until it was done. My five-gallon bucket of 2 1/2" squares didn't get depleted at all in the making of this quilt. It seems like nothing gets used up when you make a scrap quilt, the fabric must breed and multiply.
