I just finished hand piecing an Around the World queen top in 10 different shades of green prints (2-1/2" squares). It would be great in all blues as well. I started at the center with the darkest, then shaded out to lightest and back to darkest at the widest point. Continued shading back to lightest then to darkest at the corners. It is about 80" square. Have not decided about adding a border(s) or not.
