Garnets and Sapphires

Another in the line of Quilts from my Mom. This one is a pretty recent BOM. We decided to bump it to a queen size for a wedding present. I did that by creating one more column of stars and block blocks. Took off the small colored column of blocks along the left size; put in the new column and then reattached the small blocks. Mom had always wanted to change the borders so it all worked really well to increase the size. The quilting in the blocks is spiral graph type designs to give more of a curving feel to the very geometric blocks. Then I did a meander throughout the cream with marine creatures in the 3.5 colored squares. It will make sense to the recipients.
