When I get home tonight I will look up the pattern. I believe I ordered it online from www.ericas.com I had seen the quilt done up for a Breast Cancer Dragon Boat fund raiser and then the wheels started turning. I had to search the net for the pattern and found it at Erica's... thank goodness. It is really nice when done up in pinks too... Be prepared, the 48 hours it took me was only to piece it all .. It took more hourse to cut the strips and sew them together etc. The women whom I originally saw it done by did it in pinks as the pattern requires for Breast Cancer. She is a very experienced quilter and it took her 55 hours from start to finish.... Be prepared to spend a lot of time on it.. But when it is done it feels like such an accomplishment! I also want you to know I used starch like crazy on it as I cut the strips and also as I pieced them....and I pinned each seam as I put it together.. It is put together in lengths so you pin the strip from top to bottom... It took me approx. 1 hour to piece and sew each row....When I get home tonight I will look up the pattern name for you.
Click on the link below , it is at the bottom of the page and you will see it done in pink.. it is a pattern by Judy Olson called Pink Bargello Ribbon it is 11.99 for the pattern.

if it isn't a kit, how do you find all the colors and know how to make them work?

Peggy, when you pick colours start with picking your darkest and lightest colour..you have to have 21 one different colours. So from there choose a little lighter colour than the dark colour and hold it up to the dark colour, then continue on all the way to the lightest colour.. Because I was making rainbow colour, I picke a dark purple, then the blue then green then yellow, then orange and then red.. I had each colour of material with me and then tried to pick a colour that would transition from one colour to the next.... sometime it had a bit of accent in the color in it so it would transition to the next... the other thing you can do is ask for a snippet of the material and glue it on a sheet and as you choose a colour, you glue it in place until you have 21 different colours
