    Wow, fantastic scrappy quilt! Love the black square in the middle of the blocks. And my goodness, what a stash you have behind that quilt!

At first when deciding if to put on a border I thought I would need something to calm it down, I saw the black and white check and thought,,,no, really, oh give it a try. I think it works.
    Blocks are free cut in a slash, mix and sew. No particular pattern except that they radiate out from the center. The black square was an after thought but I think it gives the quilt definition.



    Very clever and beautiful. I think the black square sets off the blocks very nicely.
