This is a beautiful quilt. I love love love this! Can you please explain what you mean about the 10 1/2" squares and then the 7 1/2" squares? I really like this quilt and can see me making this one.

Very pretty great colors and I love your border.

I just started a dhg too I'm glad I found a blog with the suggestion to use the 7.5 inch squares and make hst's instead of using the layer cakes.
