It seems there were a few left over pieces from a project that needed to be used up. 
Following the website guidelines on color and size, I blended as many unique and interesting non-flower prints as possible. Sad as it is, I had to take in to consideration that these quilts are for wounded veterans. This means there's a potential for various stains. On the other hand, I also wanted them to be entertaining. I know if I had to stare at hospital walls for hours at a time, I certainly would want something fun to look at. Thus, I pulled as many prints with cats, cows, sheep, moose, fish, bears, bats, flags, feathers, cherries, santas, flying pigs, and printed words as possible. I guess you could call it an I-spy quilt.
Corners and borders will be added soon. Backings will be assembled from 10-1/2" random squares to add additional interest. Thank goodness someone else will quilt them as I believe I have enough squares left over to do at least 3 more tops.
No doubt you are familiar with the web site, but just in case, here it is: http://www.qovf.org/
Until then, keep stitchin' . . . .

What a great job you are doing for a good cause.
This is a great quilt. I love that you fussy cut the fabrics.
Scrappy quilts are so fun. I'm sure this will be appreciated. I have a small quilt that was given to me while I was in the army during Desert Storm. Thanks for helping out a service member.
I really dig all the variety of fabrics and interest you took with this. And thanks for including the link. It was a good thing because not everyone knows about that! :) I'm outta the loop.
