Perfect. I am making Grand Illusion in the large size. I'm still assembling the center blocks. I have a friend who also had that two inch gap in the pieced border.

I saw the first quilt like this about 20 years ago in a Marsha McCloskey book and wanted to do one myself. I like the deepness in tone of yours unlike many others I have seen over the years that fill in with lots of light fabric.Exuberantcolor/Wanda S Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00064308660138307797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409545905735011881.post-71519621708893108332015-01-04T11:23:03.277-06:002015-01-04T11:23:03.277-06:00I love love love your "Scrappy with a chance ...I love love love your "Scrappy with a chance of 9 patches" quilt!
