Love your hummer. You sure did a lot of small squares are those 1" squares? I have seen so many quilts with tiny squares but I don't think I could ever work with tiny squares like that I would definitely be a "basket case" before I finished. lol I don't know how you folks can work with such small pieces. Reminds me of the postage stamp quilts.

It's a beautiful quilt, great quilt design and I love the hummingbirds quilted into the border. As for using the backs of fabrics, I remember one visiting quilter to our Quilt Guild saying that we buy both sides of the fabric. I used the back side of a print for a border, when I discovered that while sewing the border on I liked the back side better, so I used it. Thanks for sharing your original pattern. Nice work.
