Well, I am so fortunate to be gifted a whole raft of Kaffe fabric squares and pieces- enough to make a comfort quilt from the wonderful Quiltdiva Julie! I oohed and ahhed opening the squishy and I thought of a pattern I bought from Material Girlfriends called Wallah. It calls for cutting up a layer cake into 5" squares. I don't like to do that as that 10" layer cake is always precious to me so I try to use it for bigger cuts. Well, the squares from Julie were 6" so the quilt would be a better size for a comfort quilt than with 5" ones.
Made a sample set and yes, I am going to keep going. The pattern is fairly easy except the trimming of the block is tricky. I ruined a couple because it is not even across the two blocks. I had to read and re-read the diagram which could have been bigger and had a star or note to highlight the unusual trimming.

What you are doing with those squares is far more interesting than my failed plan!
Oooh! I like it!
This looks like an interesting pattern.
Linda, that block is so gorgeous with those fabrics. I have never seen that one before. The quilt will be awesome!
This is an amazing design! The surprise package of those luscious blues would be a treat!
That is perfect for those amazing colorful fabrics!!
