I used a repeating 4 block pattern. I would have preferred to add another row to the top and one side so that the first and last rows would match, but this allowed for the most efficient use of my limited fabric.

If your comment was directed more at the fabric selection, I chose 4 patterns from one collection so that they would match well. I have little skill at choosing coordinating colors and patterns...

Thanks for checking out my quilt.

Thanks! How did you sew it and get it to look ragged at the top?

The fringe is created from the seam allowance, once the quilt is sewn together, just take scissors and clip the fabric every 1/4 inch or so. This quilt was washed twice - the more you wash, the better the fringe looks.

I'm not trying to make quilts to sell, but it still feels good to crank out a cheap project!
