blue bandana and leopard print-WOW
2 Attachment(s)
Hi to all, It has been so long since I posted anything, but I have been busy. The other day, I ran across some blue bandanas, about 20 inches square, and decided that I must do something with them. I had just gotten the Anita's Arrowhead pattern, and after doing a practice block, decided that I could get 4 blocks from 1 bandana, so I paired it with some leopard print, because this will be a man's quilt, and here is a single block and then 4 blocks lain together.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]397346[/ATTACH] This next picture is 4 blocks together. Yup, it is bold, but manly. [ATTACH=CONFIG]397347[/ATTACH] Now, to find time to work on this one, in addition to the other 5, I am also working on. This is such a fun and easy pattern, I will probably use it more than once. |
that is rerally neat like the turquoise with the print!!!!
|
Really pretty...

I never thought to post a picture of a bandana, for those who would not know what I was talking about, so here it is.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]397350[/ATTACH] I was able to get 4 squares from one bandana, and I think that I have about 8 of them, so will end up with a 5x6 block, which square at 9 inches. I will do some borders to finish it, I think. |
wow! This is going to turn out so cool!
|
Anita's patterns are great. Super manly blocks!
|
Wow, those look really good...who woulda thunk it???? Good thinking on your part!!!!
|
You are sew right, it is manly and wonderful, Can't wait to see this finished. Thanks for sharing.
|
Never would of thought.... great!
|
What a great quilt for a guy. I can't wait to see it finished.
|
very nice and manly
|
That is so cool!!!
|
Love the block, fabric. Is that a free pattern?
|
Looking good; be sure to share the finished quilt with us!
|
Yes, the pattern is free. Just google Anita's arrowhead, and on the website, and I am not good at copy/paste or I would have done that, but there is a pdf file which you can print out. Very good directions, and quick to sew up. Good luck.

Nothing girly about this quilt! Looks great!
|
That's going to really make a gorgeous quilt. Be sure and put the finished photo of it on here.
|
Very sharp looking. I would not have thought to pair bandannas with the animal print, but they look fantastic together. I made that pattern a couple of years ago with vintage christmas prints. You are so right, it is really a fun block to make!
|
I like it Barb
|
That will be a great quilt!
|
very cool idea
|
WOW, what's the name of the block?
|
Love your creativity. Thanks for the pattern name. Just printed it!
|
Wow! Those two fabrics really work well together. Would love to see pics of the finished quilt.
|
That is truly awesome! I think you're onto something here. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
|
Warning for anyone who might want to do one of these also! I'm not sure where you go to get REAL bandanas (maybe to a "western" shop?) but there are bandanas and bandanas. One is of sturday fabric (I still have and use some of my Dad's... he was a rancher) but most of what you get are souvenires or "copies" and of much lighter weight and smaller. Just be careful!
Spartan, your quilt is absolutely wonderful. If I can find the bandanas I may be one of your copiers!!!! Oh! I just saw the ad for bandanas for 39 cents back at the beginning of this thread.... they are surely what I'm am talking about!!!! |
that's going to be a stunning quilt !
|
Going to be an awesome quilt!
|
that is so neat. I would have never thought of putting the two together, but you did and it's awesome!!! I can't wait to see this one finished. :)
|
that is a great guy quilt.
|
Really cool!
peace |
Wow what a great block from a surprising combination.Can't wait to see the whole thing!
|
Wow...great guy quilt!!
|
I love that combination - the colors, the patterns - and teh block is just right for them. WOW is right!!

Oooh, I sure like that pattern and I love the way your used the bandana . . . know a few men and women that would like that~~~
|
You really have an eye for design. Never in a million years would I think of combining leopard and bandanas, but it sure works! Outstanding!
|
Ya know, it works! Who'd a 'thunk' it. I love the creative minds on this board.
|
Very unique idea .. thanks for sharing; the blocks look awesome !!!
|
Great fabrics for a guy, and nicely done!
|
That is so neat!!!
