Hi everyone

This is my next project it's called Boxed Squares it's work in progress at the moment.

The squares are only laid out on the bed so i can get a feel for the pattern.

I found a Jelly roll with all differnet sunflowers on it, so thought of this for it...

Not sure shall i put a boarder on it??? any advice??

That looks wonderful. I'd like a dark border.

Wow a jelly roll with all sunflowers? How neat! I would make the border a solid or tone on tone. It's a neat pattern.

Great work with the jelly roll. Love the quilt. I'd go with a small dark border.

I made one similar to it and didn't put a border. Seemed too much to me. I will just put binding around it.

Is it just me, but John Deere tractor colors always remind me of sunflowers ... if you need your quilt to be a bit larger, you might consider pulling John Deere green for the border or binding (if you don't need the extra inches).

I made a similar quilt, but with no pattern. I didn't add a border, just a deeper toned binding. I'll post a photo here to give you an idea.

How about that!! I started a quilt some years ago, (still in progress) and the pattern is called "Cobblestones". It looks just like this.

Thimblebug6000, What a great way to use up tiny pieces.
