The pattern is Kate Conklin's Charm Bracelets. It's a great pattern--Kate's instructions are very simple and straight-forward. Fabric is Arcadia and Kona Stone and Sage Green (argh!).
The binding is Kona Zucchini.
Ready to be gifted!
As for the back...my main goal was to not buy any fabric. Here's what I came up with.
I just used my extra Sage Green and Stone, and filled in the extra spaces with honey bun strips. I think it turned out pretty cool!
My creative director turned all diva on me and took over the photo shoot.
He's lucky he's cute.

I'm with Leslie -- I loved the quilt, and then you showed the back and I adored it!! It is fantastic. I am always amazed how people are so willing to lie their quilts in the grass. I am so afraid to mess mine up. :) Thanks for sharing. That is one cutie assistant you have!
Really, really pretty! I LOVE what you did with the back too! Great colors and a lovely pattern. Beautiful!
Very cute! The quilt is great too! I love how you did the back. Two fun quilts in one.
Beautiful! I love the back too! I'm all about using up everything I have on hand. Very pretty. And the kiddos a cutie pie too. :)
Beautiful quilt. I love what you did with the backing! I have seen many ideas for different backings in blogland and it has inspired me to try something different than just using one fabric.
Lovley quilt. The colors of the fabrics are so soothing. I love the pattern and the little boy, too! Thanks for sharing.
I love how you did the back to the quilt and your darling is quite a wonderful show-stealer! Blessing to you and your fun little one.
I love your design aesthetic! This quilt is fabulous. AND it's out of one of my favorite collections: Arcadia. Awesomeness front and back!
I love the way the quilt design showcases the prints. Your back is a great idea, so inventive. You made a wonderful quilt!
Oooh! It's beautiful! I love it.
The back looks great, I love all those teeny strips in there! Nice work.
From one KT to another, I am in love with your quilt! That back is out of this world!I have a Charm Pack ready of Jennifer Paganelli prints waiting to make a Charm Bracelets in a wall hanging size for my dining room!!! Love it! (Kona color cards are the bomb.)
Fabulous quilt! Love, love your backing. Great idea. Your assistant is mega cute. I love the charm bracelets pattern.
That would be my favorite quilt too if I was the one who'd made it, it is simply gorgeous. You've really got an eye for matching colors, and the backing idea is brilliant. Great photo shoot!
Love it, love it, love it.
I love how each square is featured and framed. It's absolutely beautiful. Stopping by from Sew&Tell. Thanks for sharing. Happy Sewing! :)
Oh my..That is GORGEOUS! I'm sure the recipient will love it!
I can see why it's your favorite, it's awesome. And the back? Stellar.
thanks for sharing the pattern, I may have to keep an eye out for that one.
Oooh, Katie, I love that quilt - especially the back! So unexpected!! And your creative director is adorable - looks like he's about the same age as my creative director!!
The fabrics go perfectly on this awesome quilt you made. Great improv on the backing.
Never seen a back like that before, looks amazing! (I love the front just as much as before!)
Wonderful use of the Arcadia collection!!! Any your little model is adorable! :)
Wonderful, wonderful quilt, front AND Back!
OMG Katie - I LOVE this quilt! I really love the Arcadia collection - it looks amazing!
Absolute love! The back is fab! I like the second from the bottom photo of your son. So cute.
The back is almost as good as the front!!!!!
