More Scrapitude

I injured my knee at the gym a couple of weeks ago, so I haven't been able to go on walks.  I'm hobbling around the house.  The doctor thinks I have patella-femoral syndrome.  Basically, my knee isn't tracking right.  He gave me an anti-inflammatory and tramadol, which helps with the pain but makes me feel a little weird.  The good news is now I have more time to sew. 

Today I finished the setting triangles for Scrapitude. 

 
I like this quilt a lot more than I thought I would.  Some of the batiks are downright ugly on their own, but they work in this quilt. 
 

This is not the final setting, but I couldn't resist putting it together to see how the colors work.  There is a lot of pink in this quilt, but it doesn't seem particularly feminine to me.  I think I could give it to one of my brothers, but maybe I'll just keep it for myself.
