The pieces for the strips between the rows are ALMOST done, just a couple more little blocks. Maybe I can get it done by the end of this weekend. :-D

Wow... thanks everyone. I am happy that I chose to do this pattern in these fabrics. I originally chose the pattern to do in red and beige scrappy but decided to do it for my daughter who saw the Balipops in my sewing room and liked them.
I need to do some careful figuring because I am really not sure if I have enough strips to do the final row of brown 4-patch blocks all around the outside. If not, I need to get a little more brown before I do those blocks so that it can be spread all around.

The pattern is called Faceted Jewels and I've only seen pictures of it done in bright colors with white background. My daughter's bedding is beige with dark brown piping so I did it in brown batiks to go with her bed.
