I've never seen a quilt like this but I really, really like it. I like your story on how to do the top row. It makes sense. It's really an attractive quilt. I love scrappy quilts very much. I've made so few of them - maybe two in my lifetime. I would like to do what someone else said - use 5" blocks and make this. Would it be too big? The blocks being 5"? And what about using a jelly roll? I have so many jelly rolls that I need to use up. Would one jelly roll make a quilt like this?
