I was going to use a big piece of Kaffe wide backing I bought for another quilt and didn't use, but when I realised this top was only 60" x 60" and the backing was much bigger than that, it seemed like a waste. So instead I pieced a back out of some of my bigger remaining purple and green Kaffe pieces. I'll show you the backing when the quilt is finished.
This pattern is from Kaffe's book Quilts in Italy. I modified the size of the blocks because I had a 6" Bloc Loc HST ruler. The Bloc Loc rulers are great for trimming HSTs neatly. You can read more about them here. Lots of local quilt shops stock them.

what a fun quilt! clever to modify it to your tools
Great colours Wendy! Purple and green is so striking!
a great quilt for showing off Kaffe`s fabrics. I have had no success with the loc bloc have one for flying geese too but think I will find someone who will have more success and pass them on
Great colour combinations. I've bought a couple of Bloc Loc HST rulers as well, but haven't tried them out yet. It seems they work really well.
Oh, that quilt is wonderful!! I love how the colors pop! It's really beautiful!
Lovely Wendy. It doesn't need intricate piecing, when the fabrics talk for themselves!
Sometimes those half square quilts are the prettiest and show off the fabrics so well. Love the Kaffe colors!
That is such a fabulous quilt top!! Beautiful use of light and dark and gorgeous fabrics.
Oh gosh! I couldn't concentrate on your pretty quilts after the beautiful view from the kitchen (?) Window!
