I'm going to do a wide green border too I think. Trying to green it up a bit.

I may do the quilting in orange and green thread too. Not sure.Anyhow, Ethan is only 2, but he needs something for his bed (making this twin sized) and I looked for something that would be bold and fun for a toddler but maybe he can still think is funky and fun as he gets older. That's the hope at least, as I don't want to make him a new quilt every few years, I want him to cherish this one.
The fabrics are from Joannes in the fat quarter section. Cuz I'm cheap. I used the tutorial at Purl Bee for the layout, which I think is super clever. I squared with my Making Memories eyelet setter mat! Turns out it's 4 inches square, so after I sewed the triangels together I used that to make sure it was totally square and same sizes.
