i kept seeing this pattern and thought it would be easy to do.. well it has been easy.. lots of sewing.. lots of ironing.. lots of cutting.. lots of sewing..lots of ironing..lots of cutting.. lol
so far i have 28 blocks to sew together to get one big block like this.. i am making a king size quilt..
these are the colors in my room already.. the only color missing is a touch of yellow and that will be in the backing..( i already have it ready to go ! )

this is the backing

Very pretty colors and I like the pattern, can't wait to see it finished. You are doing a great job. I like the fabrics you have for the borders. They will finish it off just right.
