Dottymo,
Unfortunately there is no other half. I have been carrying this around for many years. The construction was old style cathedral window, she started with about a 14 inch square then sewed and folded it down to a 5 inch square. So I have 4 layers of white. She sewed the squares into a strip, then the color square was applied and the white edges were folded back and stitched down to hide the raw edges. Then she added that strip to the rest of the block then started to cover the seam with the additional color squares. If I tried any kind of whole cloth I think I would have to use 5 layers of white to compensate for the weight. Yes it is beautiful at a distance, up close on the back there is so many lines of stitching sometimes looking at it makes my eyes ache.

Or put the other half on at the top and quilt to match the side you have then you could colour in if you wish. I would just leave a plain whole cloth half of quilting . It leaves you with the half you have showing up and no undoing as that half is finished with triangle edges.
It's beautiful.
