    This quilt is 75x75 but you can make yours as large as you like by adding blocks. This size required about 54 1.5 inch strips! :-)My first thought is to sell kits for this size - I plan on pre-cutting the strips.

    I still have to talk to the pattern maker about re-selling the pattern. I got it from Stitchin Post but I don't think it's available there anymore without buying a kit.

    The block pattern is actually free as it's an old pattern called a Carpenters Square. Here is a link: http://www.quilterscache.com/C/Carpe...uareBlock.html

    I found the pattern - it's still available. I will see if I can buy some of these wholesale to go with my pre-cut kits but in the meanwhile you can get it here if you want it.

    Your quilt is beautiful, but I can't help with the quilting.
