I used mostly scraps, plus a few 1/2 yard cuts I purchased last week at our local quilt shop sale. Yesterday, I found the cute border fabric at JoAnn's on sale for only $2.49/yard. It seems to be a good quality fabric.

Grandma Mary's Five Patch
The original pattern was only 61 x 72. I ended up adding another row of blocks and an 8 inch border. Mine ended up about 91 x 91. After my last summery quilt shrunk up and is now too small for the Queen bed, I was determined to make this one big enough. Now I get to decide how to quilt it. Would love to custom quilt it, but just not sure yet. You can find the pattern here.

I love the border you added. I admire people who personalize a pattern.
