My first question would be.......Why is a quilt top on the laundy room floor were it can be stepped on or come in contact with dirty clothes or have bleach even dripped on??? I admire you for being so understanding, but anything can happen in a laundry room floor. Hopefully things will go better with the next one. DNP is a simple but beautiful pattern.

I agree! Turning Twenty is my "go to" pattern when I need to make something quick. I made one for my husband using Stonehenge grays, browns, beige and black. He doesn't care for anything too flowery so those were the perfect fabrics to use. The one I made for my daughter are with Asian fabrics. The finished quilts look like two totally different patterns.

I made this one in less than a week, just change the colors and it would work. It is one of the few that my hubby actually said he liked, and that is high praise coming from him, lol.
I think this is the link for the pattern, http://madanquilting.blogspot.com/20...-tutorial.html

Sorry to hear of this happening! just one more reason I don't have cats in my home! I really would find another long arm quilter, why would she have your quilt on the floor? Not a good plan.

The original BQ by Maple Island Quilts is a super fast pattern as long as you don't use directional fabric. My best results have been using only 3 fabrics. I am not a fast cutter or piecer. I can cut the pattern out in 1 day. Sew all the blocks the second day. Sew the blocks together the third. This is one I made for a BIL.

I can only imagine how horrible you both must feel right now. So, so sorry for your quilt mishap. I had a similar thing happen to a super queen size DWR quilt in greens an cream fabrics I had made specially my daughter several years ago, but not with bleach or animals involved.I had prewashed all fabric, before cutting and thought all was well. I made the quilt, quilted and gifted it for Christmas. She too as cats who live indoors and I brought the quilt home to show at our local Fall Fair, but because of fear of cat odor, (I have No animals indoors- my preference) I decided to wash the quilt. When I washed the quilt, one of the greens bled all over. I was devastated and so was she. I was never able to get the excess dye out, no matter what I tried. My suggestion for a quick quilt - is Jenny Doan's (MSQ) Chevron it makes up fast and is really pretty I think, also not lots of small piecing to do. You can find her tutorial on You Tube. Yes I have made this quilt in turquoise and white it turned out beautiful.

I'm in shock that your quilt top would be in a laundry room AND on the floor. Yikes! Did you ask her to launder it before quilting it? I probably would have freaked out because so much goes into piecing and quilt making.

Sorry to hear about your quilt. How about a Carpenter Star quilt. They go together very quickly and can be made very masculine. Made with large HST's and squares and a couple borders. Good Luck with whatever pattern you choose.
