First Finished Quilt of the Year

Started this quilt in December 2015 and finished just after the first of the year.  It is machine pieced and quilted.  It measures approx 40 in X 51.5 in.  I haven't yet decided who will get this quilt.
 
The next few photos show some of the details.  In this section can be found eggs, spools of threads, a pink poodle,  and words like fun, haunt, and creep.
 In this one -- fireworks, a cat, a couple, faces, and Arkansas basketball.
 In this one carolers, dogs, car fender, and a motorcycle.
 This is the back.  It is pieced with the center being an old linen calendar from 1958.
