Looks really nice - good job. I made my first jelly roll quilt for the holidays and enjoyed doing it. Quick, easy and not very expensive. amiko

The blocks are 91/2 square and I haven't figure out any boreder yet ,thinking about some how using the charm pack.........I have 3pk of 24pc and 3 of each color to pack. Can some EQ me if I have enough and make picture of what it might look like ?? I would be very greatful!! Oh there are 30 blocks also?

I keep looking at your picture because I like these colors and I would never have picked them myself. If they are not sewn together you need to rearrange some of the blocks. On the right they make a "boxed in" pattern which is not seen on the rest of the quilt...I like the seagull pattern myself.
Summers are just this side of hell, but you don't have to shovel sunshine...
Definitely a good quilt; love autumn colors myself. From Big Lots, huh? Good buy.
I also see something wrong with the last two columns on the right. Didn't see it right away, was oogling the colors. lollll Seem to be making a square in a square pattern in those two columns.
Nice quilt.

I think that's beautiful! I've also seen the jelly rolls at Big Lots but wasn't sure about how good the quality of fabric is. Do you like it? Is it comparable to what you would find at Joann's?

If your blocks are currently 9.5" squares and you use quarter inch seams to join 30 of them in five rows of six blocks each, that will give you a quilt center that finishes at 45" x 54". If your charms are 5" squares and you want to use them as the border you would need a total of 48 of them ( 2 x 10 = 20 for the shorter sides + 2 x 12 = 24 for the two longer sides + 4 for the corners). Your three packs of 24 each should be more than enough.
I'll attach a drawing. Not exactly your blocks and colors but perhaps close enough to give an idea of what I'm trying to say.
