So different! love the colors too!

bj 01-15-2010 02:02 PM

That's really pretty. Did you come up with the design yourself? I really like the colors, very Southwest!

Oklahoma Suzie 01-15-2010 03:19 PM

It's beautiful.

many craft person 01-15-2010 04:13 PM

The colors are pretty close to the picture on the pattern. I like this design, but I think it will be a long time before ordering any more from where I got the pattern.

littlehud 01-15-2010 09:58 PM

Very pretty. I love the colors. I was a little confused at the beginning of the thread. :oops:

Agreed!
When first I heard about the pattern, I said that I own many of their patterns and have never had any trouble, but ... I guess I own them, but have never used them! (am I the ONLY quilter like that??? LOL)
The one + was: It only cost $7.00 for the pattern, but over four dollars for S & H.
sorry to bore you with my WHINING .... again <g> <wave>

omak 01-16-2010 09:03 PM

You have done a good job, so far!
Have you decided whether you are going to add the triangles on the side? Right now, with a bit of a border, the quilt is big enough for my veterans' lap robes. (still thinking ....) <wave>

many craft person 01-17-2010 05:33 AM

I was going to, but I don't have enough of the turquise material to do so. I need to add something more though to make it wider. Will try to get something maybe tomorrow, or may find something in my stash, I hate to put anymore money in it.

omak 01-17-2010 09:02 AM

Well, you fixed my problem! <wave> I ran out of the turquoise, also ... the triangles at the side are an odd size.
I went through almost all of my template rulers and, as usual, there are no definitive angles ... 1 degree on an angle can do so much! So, based on what is going on with your quilt and my lack of fabric, I guess I will call it a day on the quilt and finish it off ... to be quilted (some day <g>) <wave>
Thanks for the encouragement ... know what I may do is ... do the very outside border for my final border. :roll: :roll: thinking <wave>

many craft person 01-17-2010 10:45 AM

I decided to try the rust color for the triangles - it looks good together, but don't know how it will look on quilt - I really don't care for that light of material on the sides, but I'm not the designer. :mrgreen:

But, you are the owner <g>. I have the orange/rust enough to do the triangles, but not the turquoise. Have decided to just put the accent color on the outer border and no triangles. For what I use the quilt for, the final size is too big.
Do you know how to use the template and your rotary cutter to cut the triangles?

many craft person 01-17-2010 02:31 PM

Yes I can cut the triangle ok. What are you going to do with your quilt?

omak 01-17-2010 04:32 PM

I make my quilts for hospitalized veterans and Veterans' facilities. I am a member of the American Legion Auxiliary and the main reason I joined was to be part of an organization that had as its focus - - Veterans and the Military. <wave>
The size I use works well as a cover on their beds while laying down, and when folded in half, works comfortably in a wheelchair.
