Christmas present all done!

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.
Thank you for the information and for taking the time to explain the details. I appreciate it.
All the best to you and your loved ones.

Your quilt is lovely and so very thoughtful. I am sure that it will be received with an extra amount of love in light of the current happenings. We are all deeply affected by these acts of diabolical terrorism and we can all use doses of care and compassion from others at difficult times like this.
