You are so right that the fabric makes the pattern so different. I saved that pattern months ago and didn't even realize it. I saved it then because it was red and I thought it would be a fun quilt. This blue one has such a different feel and so comforting. I really like the blue and brown.

I posted this quilt last year. I got the pattern from a link posted on the board. Originally it was on the "Blank"fabric site in their free pattern section. I've had several requests and decided to post again with the corrected link. It's now on a different web site. Here's the link: http://www.quilterbydesign.com/FreeQ...s/HotFlash.pdf
The name of the pattern is Hot Flash and my quilt looks nothing like theirs. It's a good reminder that Fabric choices can change the look of a pattern. I like to look at a quilt in grey scale and it helps me think in different color ways. I often discarded a quilt pattern because of the fabric choice that didnt appeal to me. By looking at it in grey scale helps me see the possibilities.
Unfortunately, the dear man I made this for passed away in February after losing his battle to leukemia. He told me many times how much he loved this quilt. His wife is using it now and told me it gives her comfort. Thanks for your remarks in the previous post.

Lately, if I think I like a pattern, I print it in black and white with the contrast turned way down so it is just gray scale colored, then I can get out the colored pencils and felt pens and try different color ideas. Works for me. If I want to play with the colors more, I just photocopy my grayscale print so I can have extras in case I hate my first idea.
