Steve: I just picked up the June 2007 issue of American Patchwork and Quliting and saw something vey similar to yours. Maybe thats why you thought you had seen simila patterns. This one had more colors than yours, but I like the simplicity of yours better. They called the article hourglass with a twist. Its interesting reading, but I still love the blue n yours. I love anything in blue and yours definitely appeals to me. I'd love to see your black and white one too. It'll be awesome, I'm sure. But have to warn you, if you haven't already figured this out, QUILTING is ADDICTIVE :!: :lol:
