I was sitting here looking at my pile of scraps leftover from all the bow tucks totes I made and thought they would make a nice scrappy quilt. So I made a bunch of nine patches with the scraps and used chocolate brown and teal solids for the hour glass blocks. It's only 42 x 50 so far, so there's plenty room to grow.

Any ideas for borders?

Very pretty quilt. I'd like to see a paisley border.

Love what you did here. How about using a color like what it is laying on for the border. It looks like pink on my monitor and looks good.

With the chocolate and teal blocks, I think a raspberry colored fabric would be nice. Not sure what print I'd look for though :)
