This is my second go at this pattern. Here I used Fassett shot cottons in blues and greens (not at all my usual palette, and a very fun departure) for the centers and border edge; and batiked black & white abstracts (from Portsmouth Fabric Company) for the outer squares. I particularly enjoyed randomly piecing the shot cottons to create a multicolored border:
The finished quilt measures 45" square and features thin cotton batting. I thought it'd be easier to machine quilt through thin batting, but found it just as challenging as with my previous attempt...every time two quilted seams meet, there's an icky bubble! I designed this quilt to complement our emerging nursery and its black n' white theme, which we hope will be easily understood by infant eyes:
