Not sure - but looks like the outer border might be the original fabric???

I was going to ask the same question!!

It is also known as "Stack n Whack". Maybe you might know by that name? There might be subtle differences in how the two are assebled but they are both the same basic principle of finding your pattern repeat and cutting based on the repeat. Cute buns did a great tutorial on it. Here is a link http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-35685-1.htm
If you use the search function on OBW you will get loads of hits.

Gorgeous but I know the feeling. I have a UFO one block wonder. All the blocks are done I just need to lay it out and sew them together but it is just not happening. You inspire me though. I plan to never make another one again either.

Your OBW is awesome. Love the way you chose to place the blocks. I want to make one of these also but it sounds like it could be tough. I already bought the fabric just need to figure out how to cut it!
