Hi ranger ... well, I can answer some of your questions. The fabrics were from different lines of fabric ... the black & red Eiffel Tower fabric is a Michael Miller line and bought from Fabric.com. The other 3 focal prints (larger blocks) were also ordered from Fabric.com, but I do not know the line of fabric for them. The fabrics I used for the rectangles and smaller squares were bought at my local quilt shop and again, I do not know who or what! The smaller squares actually were from a charm pack ... what one? good question. I'm sorry that I wasn't anymore specific about the fabrics used. The only piece from my stash was the white backing material and that I know was Kona White and also bought from Fabric.com years ago. As for the pattern ... I didn't have one! I saw a picture on the internet and said ... that's what I need to do with these fabrics. Sorry I wasn't helpful there either. But ... the large square was cut 8 1/2" square, the rectangles were cut 4 1/2" by 8 1/2", and the corner small squares from the charm pack were trimmed to 4 1/2" square. When the pieces were sewn together, the unfinished block was 12 1/2" by 12 1/2"; making a 12" finished block. I just arranged the blocks on my design wall before sewing rows. The inner red border was cut 2 1/2" wide. The second border (from the different prints) were cut at, I think, 6 1/2". Then I bound it with the red fabric. Thanks for asking. It really was an easy quilt to piece. Nothing difficult.
