I started out with some ideas in EQ
and decided on this one:
I used 5 different teal fabrics (3 FQs and 2 half yards), 2 medium browns, 4 dark browns, and 2 cream prints. Not nearly as scrappy as my 1st Scrap squad Quilt, is it?
All cut and ready to begin sewing:
Here it is coming together on the design wall. I'm really liking it at this point.
The finished center. This is as far as the pattern in Quiltmaker goes.
But I wanted mine to be queen size, so I auditioned some borders. When I chose the borders, I planned to do custom quilting, but changed my mind at the last minute. And here is the finished quilt
Raspberry Dessert was designed by Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts. She is very talented and you'll spend a long time on her blog. Be sure to check out her patterns.

So, leave a comment on this post by midnight Friday, April 1 (no fooling!), telling me what colors you might use in this quilt. I will draw a winner on Saturday, April 2nd, in the morning.

OH that quilt looks great! Love the colors! I think that I would use my old stand by - pink and brown. :)
Love love love this pattern! I am becoming a follower on her site and yours.
Love your colors, but I have been mulling over doing a quilt for a dear friend who loves purples, so maybe purples, whites, with maybe some sunny yellows to add some pop.
I absolutely adore your color scheme. It is lovely!
I may use pink - that is what my stash is made up (the big part).
Super job! I like the light border and the colors are gorgeous.
The teals & browns are a perfect combination....so pretty
Oh Ruth, your quilt is SO, SO fabulous! I really love those colors you've used!
Cheers,
Dionne
Ruthie, I love your color choices. I think I would make it in those same colors for one DGD and the substitute some raspberry pinks for the teals for DGD#2. I can't show them this right now,too many quilts ahead of new ones for them!
Very lovely quilt. I do love the design - I have some apricot and cream material I would love to make this quilt in. thanks.
Hi - I would like to see the quilt in red, white and blue - I really like the pattern and enjoy Jaybird Quilts too.
I just love your colors and think it is neat to try it first electronically. Makes me want to learn my EQ7! I think this is Julie's best pattern yet!
The colors of your quilt look wonderful. Think I might break out of my usual color range and explore red, black, white and maybe a few other accents. Thanks for the giveaway. All of jaybird's new patterns are cute.
Love it - your color choices are great. Wouldn't change it much.
I love these colors together. A goregous quilt that I'm sure Annie and Josh will cherish. There is a great King Tut varigated thread in these colors that you will have to check out for the quilting. Curious, what had you thought about to do different for the borders? Julie's patterns are very nie. Sandi
Teal and brown would be my choice, too. Yours is beautiful, Ruthie.
I love those colours together...I have made a couple of quilts in those...either that or I use BRIGHTS...with lime green as the neutral!
I can see this in raspberry and dark chocolate! The colors fit perfectly with the name too. Yummmm!
Your color scheme is great. I might try it in black and whites, or red and tan or christmas or totally random or.....
This quilt is beautiful! If I were to make it, it would be done in red, pinks, and brown.
I would like to try it in the 30's repros. They are such bright colors and I think they would look really good with a light background. Your colors are great together.
I'm thinking about this pattern in Christmas colors - gold, deep green and red. What do you think??
Ruthie, That's beautiful!! And the bonus is I get to be a follower on your blog now. 8^)
I love the colors you chose, but I'm not very imagative so probably would have gone with pinks ( rasberry). LOL.
Wow. I love teal and the way you've created this quilt. Gorgeous. I'm sure the happy couple will as well.
I would use purple and magenta if I were to make this quilt.
To be honest, I am not sure what colors I'd use. First I saw the rsapberry, then all of the scrappy, but then while yours is still scrappy it is not so scrappy based on your color choices. Very modern and nice. Perhaps mine would end up being totally scrappy. Ive actually got a bunch of scraps and have yet to make an officially scrappy quilt. Thanks!
What a beautiful quilt. The colors I would use are purples and yellows.
This quilt looks so versatile. I would love to see it made up in blue and white.
Teal and brown are great color choices. Your quilt is beautiful! I love scrappy quilts, so I would throw in some burgandy, navy, forest green, brown, and cream colors. I just might even add a touch of plum to the scrappy mix! After all- purple is my favorite color! :)
Ruthie your choice of colors is great. I am sure that the Happy Couple will be so pleased with there gift. You did a Super Job.
Love the colors you did the quilt in. I would do this quilt in Teals, Black & White. I love your color choice on your quilt!
I still can't believe how all these quilts look so different from the same pattern. Thank you for showing us yours. Linda
I love your color choices. I might try it in grey, yellow and black. I've never used that combination but have been thinking I'd like to try it.
Hum, I'm thinking black and brights. Nifty quilt -- I like your color scheme but I have so few aqua/turquoise I'd never be able to have more than a mug rug!
I love it! I can see it made up in blues and yellows!
I love what you did with the pattern. Me I would like to see orange, yellow and red. Maybe. I need something cheery.
This quilt is beautiful. If I made this quilt I would combine dark grey, sunny yellow and lime green.
This is my favorite of all the different versions.
It's gorgeous! I love your color choice, but I think I would make it in red, white, and black.
I think this quilt would look great done in yellows and oranges. Thanks for the chance!
I was immediately drawn to your version because I love teal. But I might try Raspberry Dessert in purples because I'm seeing so much of it this spring.
I would try it in yellow and gray...but don't know.
I love your color combination! I would have to wait and see who the quilt would be made for before deciding on the color scheme I would use. So many possibilities with such a versatile pattern!
MGM
I love the richness of your color choices. Right now I would choose lemon yellow and a gray.
I'd make it in purples, greens, and maybe pinks. I be bold! LOL!
Hi ..I am a follower of Julie and will now follow you too...I love all of her patterns..I was thinking of doing this one in maybe a yellow and cornflower...
I love it! I'd have to go with greens and browns, my favorite colors.
I think I might put pictures in the middle squares, but not sure about the colors.
I love your version and I love Julie's patterns. I think I would try this quilt in sky blue and orange with a bit of brown thrown in.
I would use Strawberry Fields by Sandi Henderson as my center, with some more reds and creams.
thanks for the giveaway!
can't wait to use the pattern, already have ideas.
I'd love to win this pattern! It's stunning!
i think i might like to see it in grays and black...
I'm thinking this would look really pretty done up using the new Mint Scarborough Fair fabric line. I've got that fabric line on my wish list.
I would love to do this in a grey yellow and plum!
Oh this is beautiful! I heart Jaybird Quilts. I think this would be the perfect pattern for my purple and green stash that I've been waiting to use.
Really love this design. I'm thinking about aqua and tangerine colours!
Patti
Great colors. Love it!
Your quilt is so lovely, & the colors & the border look fantastic. I would make this quilt in my favorite purples.
Great colors, just for my family room!!!
I really like this pattern but wasn't completely sold on it. And then there was this picture of your quilt on her site and now I'm in love with it. I think I would use a similar color scheme with jewel tone greens and browns or maybe black depending on what greens. Your quilt is lovely!
How about creams and browns for a subtle effect.
I want to feature orange, but need a companion.
I would make that pattern in all different blues. This pattern looks great in all different colors.
Love the pattern. It looks like it is very versatile. I would make it in all different blues.
Love your quilt colors. My favorite color combination right now is red and aqua.
Your quilt is wonderful!! I think I'd like to try it in chocolate and coffee colors, or maybe I just need some late night coffee and chocolate :)
Oh your quilt is terrific. I think I'd make mine in purples and greens.

I think these are just so pretty. I would use blues and blacks... I think that would fit my husband and I perfectly, we both love love love the color blue! :)
My choice of colors would be purple and turquois (I think) Or maybe red and turquois. So many options!
I think I would use purple and turquois or red and turquois. Not sure if first comment went through!
I think I would use blues/greens/sand colors - make it look like the beach.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I've been wanting to make a red and white quilt so possibly those colors.
Love the colors you chose! I think i would use some dark blues and grays, with maybe a light blue contrast thrown in.
The quilt is lovely. I could see it done up in oranges, yellow and white.
I would use various greens with dark browns for this quilt.
Ruthie love what you have done!!!
I would like to see this quilt done in shades of blue! But then since blue is my favorite color I would like to see every quilt in shades of blue. Have I done a blue and white quilt yet, no but one of these days!!! Vandy
What a great design! I think it'd look pretty in blues and tans with cream background. Then again, blues and yellows would look beautiful but totally different.
I just visited the other sites you posted using this pattern and was crazy about the scrappy one. I'd never have thought to do it scrappy but now I think a scrappy 30's quilt would be amazing.
beautiful!!!!!
Your color choice is amazing! And those came from scraps?!! It sort of creates an optical illusion. Great job!
I think I'd use batiks in this quilt and make it kinda scrappy with light/darks/brights.
Love the pattern, or guess I should say all of Julie's patterns. Your choice of colors was great for a gift, lucky couple! Congrats on the new Princess!! Be careful.
What a beautiful quilt. You did a great job. Really like your colors.
It looks like a fun quilt pattern to complete.
Love your quilt! And I love the pattern! I have to find this pattern, of course, if I don't win it first! LOL!
