Little Bits.....: Won't do it again

I have no idea where I got the idea for this quilt........Pinterest?.........Facebook?........I just don't remember.
My friend Anne figured it out and I decided to try it. It is simple enough......sew four 2 1/2" x 8 1/2" strips together, then slash them. One "block" one way, one "block" the other. Then join the opposites together.

I thought I could use up a bunch of fabric that was lying around. I just kept cutting up creams, blues, reds, green (only one) and a gold. I tossed in a grey.
I did a mix and match and then I got bored with it. It wasn't turn out the way I expected. Maybe it shouldn't have been scrappy.
Too late to change my mind though.

I started this on May 1st and by the 21st I decided I had to do something with it. I put it on the flannel wall and played a bit and had to figure out what to do with the sides and the corners. I will never tell anyone how much I cheated on this quilt.
Then it came time to put some borders on. I went searching for some ideas and this popped up. I used up the rest of the fabrics I had for one side and for the top. The two sides are solid blue.

Then it sat here again because I couldn't figure out how I wanted to quilt it. I had the thread colour chosen. I had one panto but couldn't get it to digitize properly (I'm just too new at this game) so I opted for another one.

My local store had a sale and I bought the backing for $7.00 a meter! If I hadn't bought the rest of the bolt, I would go back and buy more. It is by Cotton and Steel and it is beautiful.

The pantograph is called Splash and I found it on the Anne Bright website. Robin used something similar to this years ago on a quilt she did for me and I've always liked it. This is one I'll be using again!
