So the "Scrappy Celebrations" quilt that I began making in February of 2024 in the midst of moving to Florida has now been finished and donated to Project Linus Metrolina Chapter. It ended up measuring 50 3/4" x 59.25" after quilting, binding, and laundering.

It's not bad now that it's finished. Even those blocks with the too-stark solid turquoise fabric don't bother me anymore as the feather quilting really helped to soften them and blend them into the other blocks and fabrics. I'm very pleased with the feather quilting design and, although most of the fabrics in this quilt came from new precut packs rather than true scraps, I did manage to incorporate some Deep Stash fabrics here and there, and the batting, backing, and binding were all scraps and leftovers.

I did the machine binding exactly the same way as I did it for the last quilt, except that I used Elmer's School Glue at the ironing board to secure the binding to the front of the quilt before the last run of stitching.
