Done! After 2 years!
I started this quilt sometime in 2012. Then, In 2013 I was so into papercrafting that I did no quilting. But I decided that this is the year to finish up some UFO's from 2012. This is the first finish! I made the middle portion by doing the jelly roll race pattern technique, except that I did not have a jelly roll. I used various fat quarters and some yardage that I collected and then cut them cut them in 2.5 inch strips, with differing lengths and then went from there.

Since this ends up as a lap size quilt I bordered it with rail fence blocks because I wanted a queen sized quilt. I them bordered that with a white on white print and finished it off with floral print in black, white and red. I backed it with flannel because I just love the feel of it against my skin. This quilt is huge but I quilted it myself on a tiny little machine. I am a novice so my quilting/piecing will not win any prizes anytime soon but I just love it!
I had so much fabric left over so I just decided to go with a scrappy binding. I like how it turned out as well.
The Scrappy Binding is pictured here:
