Christopher's Quilt...In Progress!

Many of the 3 1/2" squares have been cut out, and here is the first run for trying to figure out the color configuration. I think I have to go and get a few more red/orange/yellows to blend in, so it's not quite so blue. Might change the border from blue to another flavor, not sure about that yet. But in all...I LIKE it, and Christopher is starting to get excited about getting a bigger blanket for his bed that he can call his very own again. Needless to say, he's outgrown his baby quilts!



This configuration was created by photographing the squares, reducing the sizes of the photo files, and copy and pasting into an excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet was modified so the individual cells were made to be square, thereby fitting in the colored squares. Many of the prints are more varied than represented here, because there are many other designs on the prints. Here, it looks like exact duplicates for the various colors. The final product will be much more interesting, coming in at approximately 69" x 87".

Estimated hours to completion: who the heck knows! It took about 8 hours to dig through the fabrics and to cut out all the squares.
