A Cheerful Quilt

I finished this quilt today, getting it done just in time for the silent auction at a bazaar at the kids school tomorrow!  I picked up the cute house/bicycle fabric this summer at Hamels in Chilliwack, BC for $2 a fat quarter and made the quilt around that and two coordinating prints. 
I quilted it with two lines diagonal one way and one the other.
I used bits of scraps, pieces of fat quarters and dug through a friends (who is also frantically trying to finish up a quilt for the Bazaar too!) stash for the patchwork.  Here's a close up of some of the fabrics on the back.

And my picture helper of the day :)  Maybe we'll have to bid on it ourselves...I wouldn't mind keeping it!
The finished size is about 45" x 55".  A big crib/toddler quilt or a nice child's lap size.
