Great job! It is beautiful! I have done a Trade winds, and I never realized it was one of those "tube" ruler quilts. I decided to turn my blocks (have to be different) and made them into diamonds. I will have to post and show you.

I found the pattern online in a pdf, just without the piano key border:

WOW! A very impressive quilt and all the more because it's your first. You're off to a good start.

That was exactly the pattern that I used (except enlarged it to a twin size for son's bed).... the piano key border was an after thought to use up scraps, but i think it sets off the quilt.

Beautiful quilt! I love batiks. That's the trouble with pre-cuts from the manufacturers...the packs cost so much more becauswe they did the work of cutting. It is so much cheaper to buy yardage or FQs (which are most times more expensive per yard than yardage) and do the work yourself.
