I would like to make this with a black background. I have some great slightly mottled solids and thought they would look brilliant against black. It would look amish. Any thoughts?

oh i’ll still get all the instructions for this quilt because i can use this pattern to make another quilt for my daughter for next Christmas!
She has a queen sized bed but uses a king sized spread for coverage. And i can easily add more to the sides of the pattern.

Please plan to do the borders as I have them before the pieced border or it will not fit. After you’ve done the pieced border, you can do anything you wish and it will be fine.

If you’re wanting to use a different fabric for every square, a 4-1/2″ x 7″ rectangle should work. I don’t do a lot of scrappy but if I’m thinking correctly, it’s going to take some planning to make this one scrappy and still retain the design. I could be wrong though. Scrappy seems more difficult to me.

The easiest way to cut it down is probably to make it square which would be about 82″ x 82″. Sometimes, to get enough design repeats, you need a bigger quilt. Also, if someone wanted to use 9″ blocks instead of 12″ blocks, that would cut down on the size but you’re on your own with the instructions.
