I loved doing this one in batiks, they're so nice to sew on, they don't fray much, and you don't have to be careful of wrong-side or right-side up. It seems when I sew with white-on-white fabric, I always get one square or triangle wrong-side up; by the time I notice it's wrong, it's buried deep in the piecing where it'd take a lot of unsewing to get to it.
The inside of this quilt, Spinout, was designed by Barbara Cline, and if you follow the link, you can get a copy of the magazine with the quilt pattern in it. It's the July/August 2011 issue.
Diane Harris, of Quiltmaker magazine, is blogging about the Scrap Squad's interpretation of the Spinout pattern, and she did a very nice blogpost about my quilt, go look! Lots more details there, and you can also use links to see other Scrap Squad versions of the same pattern:

I also made a tutorial on my website to show people how I made the seminole border—or you could call it a bargello-type border too.

Here's a closeup of the border I did:

Beautiful and dynamic fun! And how nice to be mentioned by Diane..she's such an amazing and generous quilter! I do love this one, I must say!!
You have done a wonderful job on my "Spinout" pattern for the Scrap Squad. I love the border you added.
Your blog is so nice! I like how your little pictures change- however I was looking at your "depression . . ." quilt, clicked on something else and then it was gone. &:-D I liked that design- where can I see it again? Wish I could go whip it up in my sewing room! Super-duper work on Spinout! Really lovely!
