Default Hello from Chicago! I'm working on my 1st quilt :D

Hello everyone!

I post on Pattern Review under the name Chemical-- you'll find me hanging out in the Fabric Discussion forum because I looooooooove hording fabric. I mostly sew people and doll clothes and have never made a quilt before. I feel a little crazy hopping in with both feet but some times you just have to do it!

I found a gorgeous all cotton shirting that sparked my imagination and now I'm following a vision LOL. The shirting is white with vertical stripes made of little horizontal lines in a soft orange-apricot color. I want to make a quilt with squares that alternate the direction of the stripes.... vertical stripes, then horizontal stripes, then vertical stripes, then horizontal stripes etc etc.

Anyone have a name for that? Or is it too simple to have a name?

It sounds simple but I'm brimming with questions... going to hang out in the forums for a while and get my legs before I start pestering the Quilting Elites with my newb queries.

Hope you have a great day!
