When I started receiving my FQs from the "mare stare", I knew I wanted to make a quilt for me. :D And, I wanted a pattern that I could use most of the material in. I had made a mini from this pattern a while back, and fell in love with the way it goes together, so it was perfect for what I wanted.

Here are the steps I have taken so far:

for each 4"I used 2 3" squares of fabric and 1, 4.5" square of old fashioned unbleached muslin.

The quilt is made up of 16 4" squares sewn into 1 16" block.

As of now the quilt measures 48" I think I want to add one more row, which means I will need 64 more 3" blocks, 32 pair, and 32 more muslin blocks..
Here is a picture of it so far.

Then I will have to decide what type of border to put on. I have several small blocks from the leftovers of trimming up the squares, and here is some of the ways I can place them together. So, please help me decide what border to place on. :D
