I have done 2 cross stitch style wall quilts. Bigger squares would make bigger quilts! I didn`t use a foundation, though, as the site suggested. Just pieced the squares using a cross stitch pattern as my guide.

I used it to make DD a quilt of her Chocolate Lab. She loved it, it turned out really well.

Awesome, Thanks! I'm sure that it'll look awesome, its just going to take some time and patience.

Glad to hear it works!

That is one FUN site to look through.
I've been fascinated for years by those pictures made up of smaller picture squares; this is kind of similar. Maybe more like a colour wash. Another one on the wish list!

How nice!
Could you please show us the original picture ... and then the quilt?




I didn't use a pattern maker, just put a grid on a photocopy of the photo, and went blindly at this project ...........

lol, yeah I don't have time to look at it fully now either. But after seeing that Pansy, it makes me want to know what that beauty would look like as a quilt. :shock:

Yikes.

A large quilt in shades of tan and beige was shown here from a quilt show of some sort and I wondered how it had been done. Thanks for the site and an answer. I'd never seen one done before that one. They are really amazing.

Okay - I did the same thing - but I had difficulty in getting the pattern to size and then - even tho I selected the pattern using more than just squares - it printed squares only. Also when I printed the pattern, the page that included info about the fabric pieces # needed and colours - came out showing no colors just alpha and #'s beside it. I thought the #'s might mean the number of squares you needed in that color - but the pattern did not include some of the alphas given and the numbers did not add up to the number shown on the grid. Can you figure out what it means? Couldn't find a way to delete what you've done either. I tried creating my avatar photo and only got a small part of the top left corner. Then I created a Pink Rose pattern. Got the whole rose, but not as a complex pattern. Also couldn't find any "help" feature.

Well I guess you could, but with all the terrific patterns out there why would you drive yourself bonkers with this?
