We just watched the Tim Allen/Jamie Lee Curtis Christmas movie where Danny Divito wants his house so lit up it can be seen from space, remember that one? Well, in their entrance hall is hanging a red and white quilt made entirely it looks like of half square triangles!!! I nearly came off the couch. Does anyone recognize the pattern or the designer, or is it just one of those old ones that's been around forever? I would love to make this quilt, might be able to figure it out from looking at it but Oh So Nice to have a pattern!
Thanks so much, and have a brilliant Season.

I don't think I have seen that movie...but you can bet I will be watching for the quilt if it comes on :D:D:D
Isn't it funny, that once you get interested in quilts, you see them in a lot of shows, movies and advertisements :D:D:D

The name of the movie is "Christmas with the Kranks." Seen it as couple of times, I can picture the quilt in my mind, but, that's as far as I get...no name...sorry!

Since I started quilting, I see quilts in movies all the time. I love that stylists include quilts so often. I wish someone would compile a list of those movies. This is all I could find: http://quiltflapper.blogspot.com/200...in-movies.html

OOOh, that's a pretty one to make! I'm going to bookmark this page. Probably will never happen, but nice to dream.

What a lovely quilt. Probably won't happen here either, Espmommy, but we can live in hope.
