For the design of this quilt, I was limited by the amount of the floral print (for the inside of the squares) I had on hand. I decided to frame the focal print to make it stand out and added some square in a square blocks because I they would be a nice couterpoint to the floral blocks. I also wanted include a lot of negative space to add some of free motion quilting.
Here are some pictures of the final quilt:
In case anyone would like to make this quilt, I have also written this quilt pattern up as a free quilt pattern posted on craftsy, available right here. I think that the pattern is perfect for highlighting a few fabrics (that you may not have a lot of).
