BOHO Quilt for Tammie

 A friend and neighbor recently lost her mother.  She and her husband are rebuilding their home.  I asked her about her new home.  She mentioned that she was using black, grey and brown with touches of  boho style accents.  Below is flimsy of the quilt I am making for her.



Boho style is a free-spirited aesthetic that mixes different cultures and artistic expressions into an eclectic style with an emphasis on organic elements and nature.
Quilt stats:  as a flimsy 69 inches square, 61 blocks set 6 blocks across and 11 down.
Blocks are quarter square log cabins, cut 6.5" square  with 2.5" accents. Finish at 8 inches.
Setting triangles: finished block size X 1.41 + 1.25 inches = parent square. I round up and used 13 inch squares cut diagonally twice.
Corner triangles: (finished block size X 1.41)/2 + 0.875 = parent square cut once on the diagonal.  Used 6.5" square on this quilt.
