Navy WifeIsn't it great to see your own pattern made by someone else? It's a very versatile design, because it looks so different with that color arrangement.

AliquiltHow very cool both quilts are! And it's quite a complement when someone uses your pattern. I love the border on your quilt.

jayardi • • • I suppose it's kind of like a Bento Box, but not exactly.
When I need a quick quilt, this is the one I go to. So, you know I had to make it in black and white. Getting those four patches in the right direction really make a difference.

Auntie RebaIt's definately a keeper. So You can either give us a tutorial for a Friday night! or make and sell the pattern. Foot tapping sound.......

ekbuckeyeWhat a compliment to your design talent! I can see a lot of possibilities in that block and it should be published. Of course, you'll have to make several more samples with the different design layouts

native TexanWow, i like it but i get cross eyed a bit too. i wonder if it was hard placing all the blocks?
Oct 10, 2012, 07:56 PM
nlkThat's VERY COOL!!! You are sooo creative! What a compliment you were given by IowaLisa in making that pattern for her son. Your little Tweety Bird wings must be flapping a warp speed!

jayardi • • • Nicki, are his wings still moving? For some reason they don't on my screen. I might have to update my java script.
Hmmm, a PJ Party... I'll have to think about that.
Oct 10, 2012, 09:07 PM
nlkOh yes...he's flapping like crazy!!!

needlecrazyHe's flapping, all right, Jean.
That quilt looks sorta familiar. Is there a reason?
I have loved that pattern since you first designed it. I would certainly pay for it.

IowaLisaLove seeing it next to your color choices!! always fun to see them in different layouts side by side!!!! My son LOVES his quilt.... i made my strips wider than Jay did.. as it was, this quilt took me so long to finish, even though it was a fairly simple design and strip pieced

and this quilt is the largest I have machine quilted on my domestic machine... 90"x70"!!!
Thanks J for letting me use your pattern to make this great quilt for my son!! and when I see the pics online.. the four patch blocks almost look like race cars and the 4 black squares are the tires!! and the 'L's are his roadways

funny how pictures make things look different
