This quilt is a Laundry Basket Quilts pattern in Edyta Sitar's Scrappy Fireworks Quilts book.  It was inspired by both Edyta Sitar and Bonnie K Hunter.  I love their beautiful and inspirational use of scraps.  True to her word, as Bonnie K Hunter would say, "if the fabric is still ugly when you cut it, you just haven't cut it small enough!"  Each finished block measures 4-1/2" square.  With 1/2" finished strips in the blocks, one can imagine how many ugly (and pretty) scraps I was able to use.  This was such a fun quilt to work on!  I've named it "A Dickens of a Quilt," not because of the small piecing but because I was listening to Dickens' Great Expectations audiobook while working on it.
