Great job on finishing it. I think you should enter it into the fair.

BillieJean, there's no pattern. I'd seen a similar quilt online somewhere, used that as inspiration and used my kids' high school colors. I started with the oversized grey blocks, Cut in a 1/2" strip. Flipped it, cut in another random strip, flipped and cut, etc. Trimmed all the blocks to the same size, sewed them together and then quilted my brains out for like 2 weeks! If I did it again, I'd seriously consider a quilt as you go instead!
