That purple quilt stayed a UFO for well over a decade. It was done in a class at Houston's International Quilt Festival in the early/mid nineties with a friend who was a fairly new quilter. The class was very poorly taught so we sat in the back of the room where I showed her how to make it an easier way than it was taught! (We were so naughty! We made only a few blocks and designed our own layout.) But, I quickly saw this as a perfect example of Mary Ellen Hopkins' "connector" techniques, which she had taught me in a week long seminar in Las Vegas. (Yeah, I really did once go to Las Vegas and spend the WHOLE time in a hotel sewing!!
)I now teach these techniques using the connector in workshops for my guild and other locations and have made a pattern for it. This quilt, partially made by my friend, is a class sample. Glad you liked it.

P.S. When you are ready to write a post or response, if you look at the bar right above the message (about one inch above where you type your message) you will notice a small yellow smiley face among other icons and Font selections. If you click on that yellow smiley icon a window with a selection of smiley-type icons appears for your selection to insert into your message --- like this
! (It might be easier if you enlarge the page's print by holding down the Ctrl key and using the little wheel in the middle of your mouse to enlarge or diminish the size of the print. Or you can also use Ctrl key and the + or - sign key.)
