Leftovers Finished

I think I accidentally made a modern quilt.
This wasn't the plan.  The plan was to use up my leftover strips. 
I'm pleased with the way it turned. But I'm still a traditional quilter at heart. 
For those that missed this the first time, there is no pattern. This is just a happy accident on how it came out. Sorry, no pattern. 
I had fun putting this together and it has renewed an interest in finishing my UFOs. I have another lined up, after I finish my alphabet quilt. And I have finally understood the meaning of a "leader and ender" quilt. This is going to help me use up my box of blue and white squares, someday. 

Time to get my hands dirty and clean up! Have a wonderful day!
Take care , Brandie

Congrats all around. On going Modern even if by accident, great quilting choice on new quilt, and a finish, Woohoo. I also am new to the enders and leaders, but, what a difference it can make.
