i showed this to my DH and he said it looks like the Enterprise going to warp speed. Awesome quilt!

I see 5 perfectly straight vertical columns of equal width. I see a perfect square. I see 24 blocks, plus Center Block which appears to be two halfs sewn together. (Total 25 blocks) If 5 blocks across are each a tidy 12-inch width, the overall width is 60 inches. It appears the visible binding is half inch wide, so the width of one column would be approximately 11 inches. You would need paper foundations each marked precisely with the correct angles. You would need a LOT of strips of solid colors. Make 2 or 3 photocopies of this quilt, number the blocks, cut one Photocopy apart into 25 blocks. (MARK the WIDTH with 2-headed Arrow, MARK Top so that no block is flipped)

Blocks will be numbered: Column one has 5 Blocks (top to bottom): Col. 1 #1, Col. 1 #2, Col. 1 #3. Col. 1 #4, Col. 1 #5) Enlarge each Numbered Block, so the WIDTH is 13 inches to allow for trimming. (Largest blocks may need 2 photocopy enlargements taped together) These enlargements are your foundation papers. Draw lines at the correct angles, divided into rays up to 3 or 4 inches maximum width) Divide your fabrics into White, light, med., Dark. Sew strips precisely onto drawn lines. Use rotary cutter to trim to size, (Adding seam allowances on all sides). Cut enlarged photocopy Center block into two with lines radiating from one centeral point. Make center extral large and then Sew two Center-Halves very carefully, matching CenterPoint. If you aren't sure, create an entire paper quilt with lines drawn FIRST, then begin to lay strips for sewing. Good Luck.

I agree with yonnikka on this one. I also see 5 columns that appear to be the same width but I also see 4 different sizes of blocks in height. So if you use a 12" square block (for the ones that are square), you would than use a 12"wide by 8" tall, a 12 by 10" and a 12" by 14" for the 4 block sizes. That way when you place them in the quilt setting she has they still come out to 60" square quilt.

12" x 5 columns = 60" across
columns #1 & 5 would have (top to bottom) 8", 12", 8" 14" 8", 10" totaling 60"
columns # 2 & 4 would have (top to bottom) 12", 8", 12", 14", 14" totaling 60"
column #3 (center) would have (top to bottom) 14", 8". 12", 14", 12" totaling 60"

that would give you a square quilt of 60" and all you need is a binding.
you are on your own to figure out how she planned the strips. LOL

Hope this helps you see how easy it was to make this quilt.

There are some interesting designs and quilting going on the sites. I especially liked the circle | square. Very simple and more traditional colors would look good as well. Reminds me of a modern, very modern Amish type quilt.

Just tossing my 2 cents in here. I think the center block is made from 4 smaller blocks with wedge shaped string pieces. I am going to try this one day and see if it works.

Even though I was the one who initially asked about this quilt center, I could not have it on my bed! I would be too dizzy to put my head on the pillow. However, I still like it and it would be perfect for one of my kids (adult). But now, with the comments I am wondering if I will be dizzy-sea-sick assembling and quilting it!?!?!

I find her quilts encouraging because she is not a lifer-quilter and relatively new "on the scene". There is a freshness of perspective to her work.

Thank you for the breakdown. Anyone else see the aqua center point (top left of square) seems to lay atop the other points? Which is why I wondered if appliqued. Or maybe I need a new eye-prescription!

What a great quilt design, I am so glad you made this post. I am new to quilting and like the more modern designs. All the posts on this one are VERY helpful. You guys ROCK!
