What a bright and fun quilt. Sounds like a great way to do a little stash busting too!

Great tute!
Thanks for taking the time to post it.
I made a postage stamp quilt and used some pieces of bright yellow.
After it was finished I saw where that splash of yellow could have made a big difference if I had placed them in strategic areas.
Your comments and photos will be a big help to me on my next all-scrappy quilt.
Have a wonderful day.

Thank you for doing this - Choosing colors is a basic that so many find it difficult to really understand. With your tute, it will definitely help with those trying to choose the right combination - thanks!

So you just don't slap a bunch of colors together? Seriously, thank you! I need to spend a lot more time at my design wall.

Thanks everyone so much! I love your comments!! They are so encouraging!

In scouring my Specifications section yesterday, I noticed I left out the size of round 2 and # needed so here is the corrected version. You'll need 280 of 2x3's for round 2. However, there is a pic of those in the 'Steps' section.

If you are printing this out, here is the corrected version for you:


Specifications:

quilt top: 64x82

finished block: 5" - 5.25" (depending on bias stretch)

# of blocks needed: 70 (7 x 10)
# of cut 2" assorted squares needed: 280
# of cut (your choice)1.5 x 2's, 2x2's or triangles needed: 280 (I used all 3 in this quilt)
# of cut 2x3's needed: 280
# of cut (your choice) 2.5 x 4 or 2.5 x 4.5** rectangles needed: 280

**My test block shows a 1/4" margin when using this size rectangle
and only a 1/8" margin with the 2.5x4.

Inner border:

Muslin border: cut size - 5.5"

Scrappy border: cut size - 3.5" x assorted lengths

Outer border:

Muslin border: cut size 7.5"


p.s. That's the only size I used for that round also.
