The border fabric is the dark purple floral print. (The outer edge of the four blocks running diagonally in the lower left corner - may look black or dark brown on your screen - is actually a dark purple/eggplant color.) Sewing the blocks together will be my work night activity this week.
Most of the fabric in the blocks came from a layer cake of Recently Arrived From London by Barbara Brackman for Moda. I supplemented it with some leftover layer cake squares from Collections for a Cause Legacy and some red in my stash. (In case you missed it, my previous post included a tutorial for the blocks.) I think it is best made using a layer cake from a collection with a limited color palette - think Rouenneries, Blueberry Crumb Cake, Friendship Collections for a Cause, or the upcoming Independence Trail from Minick and Simpson or Phenomenal Fall from Sandy Gervais.
I love it! The red and purple make a nice effect. I have some layer cakes in my stash. I will have to put one of these on my list.
