Wonderful Quilt. Love the vivid colors. Om making my 1st quilt and im using the Cotton Theory. Very easy!! When you rip out the seams of each block then u make the sandwich of top- batting- backing. Next Quilt on machine however you like EACH block. Then u use strips for example..... Your block is 12 1/2" sq then the strip will be 1" wide x 12 1/2" long. You will need a strip for front and back. They can be different and with this method your backing can be another quilt top with same size block. The 1' wide is based on a 1/4" seam. You will sew the front strip rightside to right side with the back side strip also right to right side. Sew the 1/4" seam. This leaves you 3/4" of the strip. Take next block in line and sew right front to the strip u have on the 1st piece with a 1/4" seam. When you open it up the inside raw edges of your blocks will meet. Just make sure when u put on the width strip u fold over the back strips 1/4". When done you will have to hand sew the backing strips in place. I hope this might be a way to quilt it at home and save some money and also a little more creative. Good luck but i think no matter how you do it it will always be absolutely stunning!!!!
