That's an idea. I'll have to check tomorrow if I have enough of the colors left for a large 4 patch. And yes, I do have enough of the black with the print for the binding. I made that yesterday. Whew! Thanks. I like your idea better than the yellow. I wasn't thrilled to bring in another color.

That would pull the colors together and I know she has it. She used it on one of my last quilts she did and it looked great. Thanks for the reminder.

I really like the idea of piecing a back... use all your left over pieces and strip it together... make blocks... or be random. I love this idea.

And I will definitely use variegated thread if you would like me to. That is, if I am quilting it- no pressure... :)

I really think it turned out so very cute.

You should post your JohnDeer Quilt! She did a great job on it!
