Does anyone know the name of this pattern? I saw it on Pinterest and made my own dimensions for the blocks (12 inch). I really like it, but would probably make them 9 inch blocks if I do it again. Now I am not sure of the border. I don't have enough of any of the scraps for a border, but my thought was to have the thin white border and then a 2 inch border of alternating white/print squares - but that looks pretty busy and too close to the inside pattern. What do you think? All ideas are welcome; a solid red or blue to break if up? Perhaps the solid should have been placed first instead of the white????

Thanks for your suggestions ~ Carol

Sorry for the pictures being mixed up - the second picture is with just the first white border and then the other options. I could put just about any color of solid, but tried it with the red. Suddenly it all looks too busy to me.

Lovely pattern no idea of name. I agree about red would do coloured squares in between white borders.

Pretty quilt! I wouldn't put a border on it at all.

Looks like a variation on a Tennessee Waltz quilt pattern. The TW quilt normally has a solid center, this one has a snowballed 9 patch. I like the last border suggestion, add another row of white to separate the squares, then bind it in the red.

Your quilt is great. I wouldn't put a border on it, except for white. One of the blocks is the Fifty-Four Forty or Fight. The other block is a modified 9-patch.

it looks like two blocks. a shoo fly block and the star with four patches

I like the bottom picture with the white and little coloured edge but I would trim so the squares of colour are the same size as the squares in the quilt. Pretty top!

I made that quilt. Got the pattern off Fons & Porter website. They called it Aunt Gracie's Garden, made from 54-40 or Fight and the shoo-fly block.

I've seen that pattern, but sorry, don't know the name of it. I think a very narrow red border before the white would better frame the quilt. I'm thinking a narrow red, the white, then the alternating blocks, and finally the binding in red. But, I don't think what you have done is too busy. By the way the quilt is beautiful.
