    Default Playing The Scales

    The quilt I saw was much prettier than the one I made, but here is mine. This design is way different from what I usually make so I’m still not sure how I feel about it, whether I like it or not. It’s 65x87. I added 4 more rows to the width and also made it longer for a twin bed. The free instructions were for a 62x66.

    I did an image search for Playing the Scales quilt and I like yours better than any I saw.

    My first time hearing of this pattern much less seeing a completed one. I can't imagine that the original was any better than yours. Love the navy and gold/yellow combination. Stunning!

    I think it's just fine and I'll have to go check out that pattern as I can see using scraps.
