I'm not sure what I want to call it, other than a blue mess, but here it is.
I somehow managed to put the bottom part together backward, and there are some parts I don't like, but I'm not sure if I hate them enough to take it apart... KWIM?
Anyway, here it is~

I got it from a european magazine called Burda patchwork, it's in the summer 2008 issue, #18. I couldn't find the pattern online, but I had the magazine, so I didn't look very hard.

If you can't find it, let me know and I'll try to scan the pages in, but you'll have to do the cenversions from metric to imperial. It's all in french, but it's pretty easy just to follow the pictures.

OO, I found it on ebay, but the bidding ends really soon!

Ok, I guess it's not really THAT bad, but there are a couple of blocks of the same colour that aren't supposed to be right next to each other.
Anyway, I took it apart, and put it back together the right way, and it looks pretty much the same except the two big green blocks aren't next to eachother. I just rotated the bottom right corner 90 degrees.



Thanks everyone for the nice comments!

They're a lot easier than they look, eh?
