Once again, on accident, I have turned traditional blocks into a masterpiece. This is actually a Modified Nine Patch combined with four Flying Geese/Goose blocks. It happened when I was sketching out blocks from a huge book of block patterns (500+) and began to fiddle around a bit and ended up with this. I call it "Shuriken"...kind of a throw back to the "Ninja Star" quilt, but these look more like actual ninja stars. |
Way cool! I like the circular sub-design.
|
OHHH!!! That is another masterpice from you! I love your ideas and this one will make up really cool...are you gonna make this one?
|
Ohhh, I LOVE this pattern!!! Do you mind if I borrow it? And what size are the pieces if you don't mind if I try it. Thanks!!!
|
WOW!!! Awesome!!! Another wonderful design :D :D :D

Thank you!!! I'll get my friend to help me figure out the sizes and post the pattern information here, if you say it's OK. Since it's your design, maybe you want me to IM it to you first? Thanks for the OK to try it. I think it is wonderful!!! I really love it.

For anyone else who wants to give this design a try, I'm perfectly okay with it unless you want to profit from my design. Other than that, go nuts! I'm just glad people are interested. |
Very pretty!! I love it! :D
|
Very pretty design. I really like it.
|
What did you use to design it with. EQ6?
|
Wow - what a ambitious project. Is it pieced or PP? Keep us up to date with photos in progress!
|
Great design and even like the colors you used.
Did you use EQ6? |

Do I have this correct? If it is I will put up the pattern in the various sizes
|
The blocks look correct. But you're missing an extra column of blocks on the right side.
|
Ok, I will change it to 5 X 5

Goddess, you should consider selling your patterns and not just give them away! Your work, going back to the Tsunami quilt and beyond, is fresh and contemporary, yet appeals to traditional quilters as demonstrated here. You have a good eye and I know you have other artistic outlets as well.
I'm sure you could find pattern testers to make up the quilts you design and you would never actually have to make them (i.e., buy the fabric and do the sewing) yourself. You could probably even partner with someone, another designer perhaps, to help with the writing process (the math, the wording, the proof-reading, any stuff like that you might need). I think you are doing yourself an injustice by giving your work away like this. Just my opinion mind you. |
Did you do these in EQ? If you did, are you able to load the files here?
|
The large block appears to be on a 5x5 grid.
It is a great design. Very striking. |
Yes it was done on EQ I will have to see if the file size is small enough to post here.
|
Ok, I am attempting to make the EQ file available...if someone downloads it, will you please let me know if this works lol
******This down load will only work if you have EQ******* |

Your quilt design is beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks :)

Wow |
You are very talented. Have you thought about selling your patterns? You could have someone make up the dimensions for the blocks and the fabric amts and then you could make a quilt to see how it goes together, take a pic of it and you have a marketable pattern.
Don't forget to copywrite it. ~Deb~ |
