I got a McCalls quilting magazine today (aug '08 issue).

There is a gorgeous quilt with instructions and fabric yardage on pg 66. It's called catus flower. It look intimidating at 1st, but it's like a log cabin (I think?) as far as piecing. I love it!

Have you seen it yet?

not yet,
don't have my issue yet

Thanks for posting that URL Loretta. That's the reason I bought it. I don't subscribe to any magazines.

I will make one, but have 2 in the works right now. It'll have to be in a month or so. I just got hired to embroider over a dozen baseball caps that need to be done by the end of July.

Here's a link to it, very pretty, and the pattern for this one is free, it's their web bonus this month, i usually look at the magazines online :)

ooops lol lol, me and loretta were posting the link at the same time lol :) :) :)

Very cool pattern

That's really pretty!
I'm printing it out!

That's absolutely gorgeous!!! I think even I could do this one!! Thanks gals!!

Very pretty, and in king size, which is the size I need.

Thanks,
Sondra

oooooooooooooooooo pretty. If you make it, please show us pics. I love pics. It inspires me.

that is a very pretty quilt!!!!

Don´t get the mag, but funnily enough our Group here in Spain did a paper piecing project and I was so thrilled with the results I am thoroughly hooked (AGAIN). So I searched for more patterns on the web site for McCalls and I found that pattern for the cactus flower and it is beautiful, I also found others, so its worth looking on the site and guess what their FREE :D :D

heheheheh thanks for the post i printed out the web bonus on it. :lol:

Thanks for sharing. Printed it out.

It's very pretty, BUT, I can't believe they'd instruct to cut all those pieces!! It'd be MUCH simpler done in strips!

McCalls is one of my favorite quilt magazines. That is beautiful!!

That fabric was just gorgeous, especially the border fabric. It's almost worth paying the whole $$$$$$ and get the fabric too.

You're welcome. It's going to be my next quilt I make when I get finished with the 2 I have started.

I've started on this cactus quilt yesterday. Here's 2 of the squares so far. I'm going to make it like the one in the magazine, but I changed the colors.

Oh, it took me 6 hours to cut all those pieces. There are 805 pieces! Wow!

Looks great - love the colors.
