    My DH wants a southwestern design quilt and since I can't find one that he likes, I designed this one over the last two days.
    He most likely won't like this one either, but shall see.
    The overall quilt will be 95 x 95 and the squares will be 3.5 inches on this one. The colors may(will) change and some will be print fabric, some solids.
    This may also end up in a binder of "Ideas that went no where."
    I had to take a pic of it while it was on my computer so may be a bit fuzzy.

    Hey, he must be as picky as my hubby!!!! :D

    Nice colors and bold striking design. Your fabric choices will make this a great quilt.

    That is a great block. The colors are right on. I hope he likes it because I would love to see that quilt.

    Have looked at Michelle Watts site? She does exclusively Southwestern quilts. If you would like further inspiration check it out.

    That is a stunning pattern photo, QG. I would love to see it in a wall hanging & I'll give you my address if your husband doesn't want it. Did you do this on EQ?

    1. It looks great to me!
    2. Get him to show you southwestern designs that he does like. They don't have to be on quilts. That will give you an idea of what he has in mind, and you can incorporate those designs with yours.
    3. If you have something on your computer, you don't have to photograph it. Just save it as a .jpg or .bmp file and upload that.

    4. Um, wait, is that design meant to be the whole quilt or one block? Because it has a thousand pieces in it, so if it's one block it'll take you forever to do.
