I have always like the Jewel Box pattern. Now I have finally made one. This was the Scrap Group project we worked on yesterday.
Mine is made from scraps and Kona white. If I make another I will reverse the fabrics in the pieced border. But I'm not changing this one. I have not decided whether or not to add a second border. I could add another pieced border using my stash of 2" squares. Or I could just cut some yardage for the second border. If I don't add another border, I have a nice blue and green stripe that I plan to use for binding. This measures 48" by 54" at the moment.

Beautiful quilt! I love this pattern and now that I see your quilt I want to make one too! It looks like there is a small flange. I like that addition too.
Eeep! That is a terrific quilt. I like the skinny stop border particularly. Looks great!
Pretty! Jewel Box was one of the first quilts I ever made almost 20 years ago. I should revisit that pattern!
I've made a Jewel Box with scraps and black. Here's a link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/the_quilter/5913247519/
