It did take me some time to decide how I wanted to make the blocks. Finally I decided on wonky blocks and loosely followed this tutorial.
I started with 13" squares of the 5 different prints. I made four cuts. After shifting and sewing back together, it yielded 10.5" blocks.
After I got the blocks together, the quilt was too small. Finally, with my guild members input, added the white sashing and a wonky outside border.
For the wonky border, I used 13" x 5.5" rectangle, layered 5 fabrics, then cut in half lengthwise. The border is probably my favorite part.
Another decision which seemed hard at the time was how to quilt it. I wanted to challenge myself to try something different. I opted to make large free motion flowers with white thread. It worked fairly well, but it's certainly not perfect.
