It has come to my attention that the "Pattern" people are asking about is actually the quilting pattern and not the LA'ing pattern. My apologies for the confusion. Guess I thought you all could read my mind and just KNEW what I was talking about....lol, sigh, side effect of being an engineer I suppose.

Ok, so the embarrassing truth about that quilt top.....it was my very first attempt at quilting. Mind you I didnt take close ups of the front so you dont see the bad piecing job, or the HUGE seams where 4 pieces meet. What will really shock you, is that pattern is actually the attic window pattern. Yep! Attic window. I actually have a photo of it "pre-stitched" where it is laid out as an attic window. I was so proud of myself, I zipped it together, threw the border on, then laid it out again, took another photo....and then really looked at the photos.....OMG I sewed it up wrong!! Not sure how, really not sure what I did wrong, if I hadnt had the previous photo, I would have doubted I even knew what I was doing in the first place. I got mad at it, threw it in the closet and said I was done with quilting and never again would I do that karma is funny sometimes.....here I am looking to invest in a Long Arm to make whole cloth quilts I design myself....So here are the two pictures, the before and after......I am sorry I cant help more. I will say though, I sewed the HST's into sqares, then sewed the squares together into a column, took picture, then sewed columns together, then bordered it, then took 2nd photo...Hope that helps!
