Now I want to make the label but would like to credit the name to whoever is the designer. My DD (who is making two double sided matching pillows from the leftover HST and I am thrilled that she is following in this wonderful quilting world) suggested a name of "Love Expands" which I think is cute. The squares are 4" each and the overall quilt measures 96" square. It's also reversible with jelly roll race as the back. He and his bride are getting married the end of March and after I started their quilt in January their registry came out with blue and light green sheets! Lucky such a perfect color choice. So if anyone knows this name, I would appreciate knowing to give credit to the designer. Thanks.

I've found that simple patterns have the most to offer us quilters - because each and every one we do is new and unique. I know this is why I am never bored. Keep on creating, ladies - and know that each of yours could be published too (with a new name.) We create unique items all the time and don't need a new name to appreciate the glow it warms in our creative hearts.
This rendition is a beautiful example of a FIRST rendition of this new/old pattern. Name it whatever you want and know that its one of a kind character is your special creation. Lovely work!
