Hi Gayla JM, I love love love your quilt, I also was wanting to make a memory quilt/throw using the stitch and slash technique by incorporating some fabric from my Dad's shirts and pictures, like you did on the 5th layer only doing it on the 4th layer so it would show bigger, but I was concerned it would make the quilt/throw to stiff? Also what did you use for a backing and binding to finish the quilt, help me please, this is a present for my daughters 31st b-day.

There are 4 full layers with the light fabric being layer 2 as well as I put a square of the light fabric behind each of the 4 center squares making a 5th layer

This is nice. Good planning. The light color looks like lace at first glance. At which layer(s) did you put the light color fabric?

Looks like a traditional quilt block. I like how all the areas to remove have not been removed. The colors are amazing. Design quite mathematical.

The symmetry of this pieces is wonderful. Adding the 5th layer was a great solution for getting that light fabric to show on the bottom.

I love this - contrasts are lovely - the areas where you didn't go all the way to the back fabric - bright and restful, aka enjoyable to gaze at for long periods. Just lovely.
