Scrappy Sunsets

I finally finished my March do.Good Stitches quilt this weekend.  It feels good to finish this one up since the quilt top had been sitting in my to-finish bin for several months. 
I took the pictures as the sun was setting and it was kind of fun to see the moon as I was trying to photograph the picture.  The light kept shifting and I got wrapped up in seeing the sunset change the quilt coloring.  I completely lost track of the time.  My husband came outside and asked me if I was ever coming in.  :)
Several of the ladies in my Peace Circle sent me extras from their blocks, so I used them down the side of the back. The rest of it is a fuzzy flannel my mom gave to me.  I used my walking foot to do some straight line quilting.  The front is so busy that I wanted the quilting to be minimal in a structured way.
This quilt is so bright and cheerful.  I'm excited to give it to one of Joel's patients.
