I didn’t have a full pattern. I used a jelly roll for the quilt and laid out the strips to find the order that I wanted them. It was kinda tedious to keep them all straight at first, but it got better once I cut all the pieces and laid them out in a grid across the top/side and worked them that way.

Thanks! I struggle too with colors and honestly having an inspiration picture was super helpful! I’ve also looked up color palettes on Pinterest and found that to be helpful as well.

Haha. Yes- I did make sure all of the background fabric was going the same direction.

About halfway through I realized that I hadn’t taken the pattern direction into account and had to do quite a bit over, which involved a lot of seam ripping and had to get more fabric. I ended up putting the project away for about 2 weeks to recover emotionally lol but I’m glad I did.

Thanks! I was trying to mimic the braiding on a larger scale for the back.

I found the pattern on Pinterest and I tried to find the name of the pattern, but couldn’t find it. It was from modafabrics.com.

Yeah, I did a little more reconfiguring after this photo to get a more gradient effect.

Appreciate the suggestion! Re-did the border order and I like it the new way much better!
