First Quilt of the New Year.
I found this pattern in one of the Quilting Magazines and added just a touch of my own. I purchased the fabric from one of the quilting board sellers and was totally pleased with the fabric. I made the binding from pieces of the leftover fabric from the squares. I also made a large block of the smaller blocks to be the centerpiece. It was fun and took all of November and December and 1/2 of January. However I will end up with two quilts slightly different. Will post the sister to it when it is completed.

I really like this. I love your modifications using the large center block. The usage of the left over fabric for the binding is perfect. The backing fabric is wonderful. I am glad you used the diagonal for the quilting, because I think anything else would really have distracted. Can't wait to see the sister one.

That is a beauty! I really love it! I hope you are keeping this one - I love your binding too - that is one of my new things - making my binding out of the leftovers - it makes for a fun, scrappy binding.
