Finally, found the CD with my avatar to show as some people wanted to see it. I made this little mini a few yrs. ago and it was begging for another row of something. Saw Rhonda's Boston Blocks in July at this site and gave it a try. First I tried HST's around it, but knew Boston Blocks would give the finish I needed. Just drew a cardboard template and made the blocks. They didn't turn out so even so I'll keep working at it. Hope you enjoy this mini!

Either you got lucky, or you have a gift for selecting colors, because your quilt "sparkles" !
I think it is grand!

What a great way to use the Bostons. Love it. I am glad it did the trick for you! I just used them in a pieced border which I have never done before. Loved the way they look in a border like that. You did a good job on your little quilt.

Can we see the whole quilt?

I think I got lucky! No, it's called computer enhancement, but thank you for your kind words and compliment! I am still working on my color coordination!
