These are 12 blocks for the village quilters to make the new series called Fancy Quilts. Each finished block measures 10 by 10 inches. The pieces blocks, 4 x 6 or 40 by 60 inches, are at the center. These are framed with three borders so that the finished quilt measures about 80 x 100 inches. We tried to stick to Rajasthan/ Sind /Punjab popular colors such as red, yellow, orange, black and white but somehow they were inclined to add a lot of blues and greens... The inner border should be about 2 inches wide, the "ralli" pieced border (called "frame") is 3 inches, and the outer border is 5 inches wide. It is finished with a "flower" edge, or "prairie points" a sawtooth edge result.
