I read through the nice comments..thank you!
The pattern for the block is Jacobs Ladder. The quilt top has 16 blocks. I used 1 light, 1 medium and the 1 dark. The border is the large focal print. The pattern is by Heirloom Elegance Designs 3 yard patterns. The size of the throw is 50 x 50. 16 blocks total.
"maybe" my total time to complete it was a little more than 5 hours but I did not start it until Sunday afternoon and put the border on by Monday night. I did work that day. I chain piece like mad! The instructions show how to strip piece for the 4-patches that are in Jacobs ladder.
I am a fabric rep by day and I use my quilts for samples to show the shops. They have to be quick samples!

That is very nice. My soon-to-be 16 year old DGS just painted his bedroom grey and wants a grey quilt. I have been collecting greys to make a turning twenty. It will have just a touch of red in it. My biggest obstacle has been finding grey that is not floral.

Yes, I have looked in the landscapes. I have several blenders. Unfortunately, my favorite place for landscape and & blenders closed so now I have to go a distance to find more. I need 5 more pieces.
