Cute idea for a quilt. Like the red border.

You can't fool me, I see all that fabric behind the quilt.

OH! I really like this! That black square in the of ythe blocks center really finishes it off perfectly!!

I like it, reminds me of the ones my grandmother used to make, using what she had on hand.

Good job of using up your stash. You are of good example for some of us.

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.

That's really cute as a finished quilt.

Well I never said I didn't have a stash......That is the reason I am on the moritorium....flat out of space. So far I have only done some damage to the sample square bin. I have not touched the layer cakes, jelly rolls or charm squares. Hmmm maybe when I get to piecing all those backs for all the tops I am doing up, maybe I will create some breathing room on the shelves....right now I think if I tried to cram one more fat quarter in there the whole house would just 'splode.

Love it!! If you are planning to use up your stash I Can see that you are set for a couple years or so. I love peeking behind your quilt. You are such a tease :thumbup:

That is quite an impressive Stash peeking out from behind your quilt! I understand completely your Moratorium on Buying...
