It is a variation on a zig zag quilt http://www.quiltingboard.com/links-r...s-t121842.html, where I increased the size of the colored rectangle. Then you can play with any variation putting the quilt together, and get different patterns like log cabin blocks do. I play with my designs on my ipad to check out how a quilt might look and give me general dimensions. This one came out a little bigger than planned, but that is okay by me!

Beautiful!!

That is one fantastic quilt, love the bright colors, great job.

Absolutely stunning! Your ideas for the quilting sound perfect to me.

How great is this.
Can't even imagine how I would quilt it..

Beautiful quilt, love the pattern, is it an original pattern

That is lovely. I'm thrilled you found the fabrics at WalMart. I don't think it needs a border, but if you wanted to add one - black would be my choice.

What a pretty quilt!

How about just a straight line down the middle of the stripes in the color they are. It would help the diamond shape show up without messing up the design. I might put on a 3 or 4 inch black border just to have a place for the eye to rest.

Wow gorgeous! You're right - no borders needed.

Wow - Just beautiful, great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day
