My neighbor Carol and I found a photo of a quilt online that we fell in love with but can't seem to find anymore. All I can tell you is that the quilter said she used 2.5 inch strips and thin border of 1.5 inches. We call it the Hippy Hippy Shake Quilts because every time I see Amy Butler fabrics I hear the old "hippy hippy shake" song from the 1960s. The kids today call these kinds of fabric "boho chic." So I did the one above and decided to do a thicker border between the blocks.
Carol did two of them:
And the log cabin version which is already completed:
We are both working on different projects now. I am completing some UFOs and Carol is making two quilts for a gift. But we really had fun doing the same pattern with our own tastes in fabric. We've already picked out the next pattern we will tackle when we are done with the current projects.
Keep you posted on the next quilts!

Haha - love the name, and love the quilts!! I like the thicker lines between the blocks, it makes for more movement somehow.
