This is a St. Louis 16 Patch. The strips were 4" wide. I just sewed the squares together today. Now I need to sew fabrics together to form a back. No border is planned since it is big enough around 52 x 71.
The colors on the photos show a dark yellow color, actually it is a very soft off white color. Two quilts made with all of the blocks that I had sewn up. The first one I made I did not want a border on it. I pieced the back with the flower strip. Then since I had left over blocks I made the second quilt. Since I did want it to be a bit bigger I planned on putting a border on it. I went to Rosie's and found some beige fabric with the flowers on it which I planned on using for the back. When I got home I liked it as the border fabric so adjusted my plans. The thin yellow border is actually the back side of a bright yellow print. It works perfectly using the wrong side. I quilted both of these very heavily so when they are washed they crinkle up and feel like old quilts.
