This is from a Hoffman Bali Pops pack - I made a racer quilt first but thought it needed something else. So I chopped it apart on the bias and put together some messy squares. Then I figured some black sashing and borders would do the trick but I wanted some batiks in the border too...but I was out! I went to Joann's and picked out a few to try to match the Bali Pops. The cornerstones and squares in the border are all other misc. batiks - I think I did a pretty good job matching the Bali's!

The quilt is about 72"x72" - I'm calling it a "large throw", lol.

Very pretty. He'll love to be curled up in this quilt, I am sure. Thanks for sharing.

That is stunning. So elegant but manly too. It reminds me of inlaid wood, with the different shades and colors. He should be absolutely thrilled.
