Hi, do you know how the edge of this pattern is made? The part that looks like a ribbon.
Thank you,
If you look at each segment, it is like Seminole piecing. Each is cut at a 45 degree angle and pieced. Ex: small dot strip, green, small dot print: pieced in 1" to 2" strips. Cut on angle at 45 degrees, and you will have that unit. Next unit is red 1" or 2" strip (use 1 size to match FINISHED SIZE of other 3 pieces: white dot-green-white dot), cut at angle and piece all to make strip ribbon. If you want to go around corner etc, sketch it on graph paper first, usingeach sq to = 1/2". It is really much easier than it looks. It is very easy to customize. This looks like 1" (finished) strips of the print-green-print= 3" finished and cut at that angle of 2" to finish at 1.5" This is purely a guess. Just sketch out the design using my description.
Any book on Seminole piecing or borders should have the pattern. This pattern is really easy to customize and has been in books for 10-15 years. The key is to tilt your head to the left while looking at your photo and you will see the blocks. After units are trimmed and pieced, straight borders are pieced in top and bottom. Good luck

It looks like the ribbon is made up of rectangles cut on the slant and the green is a square, poka dot is half squares attached to the green square and the binding is stripes cut on the bias.

I don't have this exact pattern, but I do have something very similar. I'm just walking out the door to go quilting so will try and get it sent to you when I get home. Cheers.
