Describe anything about the history of the quilt that wasn't already recorded in a previous field:

For many years, Scarlett participated in several online group swaps. Besides EuroSwap, she also traded blocks as a member of the Nifty Fifty Quilters. This quilt top is one of a series that Scarlett intended to make with the large number of EuroSwap blocks she received, since they were made with lots of different colors and only measured 4 1/2 inches square. The rules of the swap stated that each quilter had to pick a color and then use scraps of that color for the triangles surrounding the center signature square. Scarlett sorted the blocks into piles of each color, then added the solid color fabric, setting the blocks on point, then sewing strips Patience Corner style around the signature blocks to make them 12 inch squares. The bias strips were machine appliqued over the blocks in a pattern that Scarlett calls "Celtic Plaid".
