Take a Jelly Roll, Bali Pop, Tonga Treat strips, and any of your other favorite 2 1/2" strip rolls. Add a Theme fabric for fun or a Background fabric if you want the squares to stand out. The pattern is basically Saratoga, but with the rails made in 4 squares instead of 2 rectangles. There are loads of leftover rail pieces, so they become a border around the quilt finish framing the Theme Fabric. This quilt is a generous throw at 60"x68"
The cover quilt is very busy, because I like lots of pattern and print. Can't wait to make it in something softer, as well as something with more contrast. And next time I will be more careful with my 1/4" seam allowance. I did just about everything wrong--sewed at different times, used different machines. It turned out to be a good thing that this is a busy one.
