It was made using scraps gathered from various sources. The only thing I bought for it was 4 oranges so I'd have a little more variety.
No, pattern is needed. I cut 7" squares out of a light weight muslin and the black middle strips 1" , all the colors vary in width from 3/4 of a inch to 2" (a few 2.5" strips may have joined the party). After sewing on the strips I squared them up to 6.5". I've still got to sew all the blocks together.

any "hints" THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! |
I did a layout with graph paper and wrote on each muslin piece the colors needed for the block. I only messed up one out of 120 :oops:

Oh, yes, I think a black border is all that is needed to frame this gorgeous quilt. |
Gorgeous!!!!!!
Black border-a narrow one----to not distract from your gorgeous quilt |
I love your quilt! I would stay with the black for bordering. Your colors just pop! Love it love it love it.

Your quilt is beautiful. I think a border frames and gives the quilt a completed look. I agree with the others a dark border would really make it pop.
|
I just wanted to say how awesome this is! Love all your color selections....
|
I would use black or choose one color from the blocks :thumbup:
|
Black border gets my vote!
|
This is beautiful - call it BeJeweled - sort of like the game you can play on the computer - but it is gorgeous. What ever border you put on it will be perfect - but I'd stay mellow with it so it does not take away from the bright gorgeous colors you used in the blocks.

This is an amazing quilt! Your choice of colors are stunning!
