Anyone recognize this?
 

I found this quilt and it said it's called splits n strips. Does anyone know if it's called anything else?

I am trying to find the pattern to download but can only find places to order it. I was hoping maybe it's called something else that I can search for.

maybe.... Shadows & sunshine? seems that name rings a bell

I dont now the pattern, but its very pretty, and all the blocks arent the same....

looks like a tube quilt. should be tutes out there.

I googled the Shadows and sunshine. That's not it but I do like it.

I like the quilt, sorry cannot help with name!

Looks like a tube quilt to me, if you look carefully you can match up triangles that were cut from the same tube.

Try dream catcher or hello Betty. With these names I have seen quilts which look similar.

It looks like a variation of a string quilt to me if you turn it on point you can see the blocks,
All the blocks are made to two different layout you would need to study it and made a trial block

I agree with kamairigby - you could do this as a string quilt. It's just triangles cut from 3 strips, with the middle strip being a narrow black one.

Looks like it could easily be done with strip piecing. Two wider strips (one lighter, one darker), with a very small black strip in between. Cut with a 90 degree ruler, with the 90 degree corner at the top of the strip. Then alternate with the 90 degree angle at the bottom of the strip. Looks like there are a lot of different strip sets used. Then there is a border around each square.

Missouri Star has a similar pattern . You might try doing different width of strips but ending in the same final width. Here is the free tutorial online.

I've seen a similar quilt by Kaffe Fassett, but he used striped fabric rather than strip sets. Pretty slick! And easy, if you get the right fabrics.

It's a rather simple technique, similar to what charsuewilson described. It easily goes dimensional, too.

If you were to sew 2 1/2" strips together and cut into squares (10 to 14") then cut the squares from corner to corner so you have 4 triangles, you could make up your own design. I love it.

Love the quilt!
What a great way to use scraps/stash.
NOW there's another one I'd like to make. :)

I think you have the right idea, but the borders are only around every other square. And the little black center is in the other square. So you need a wider strip of black on one side of your strip set. (Wider than the black strip in the middle of the strip set.) Then the borders and the middles will be created as you cut the triangles. I'm excited to try this.

I know this is not the one you are looking for but I came across this as I was "trying", feeble attempt at best, to straighten up my sewing room cause there is a pattern I'm looking for I know it's there somewhere!

Anyway this jumped out at me. www.toadusew.com strip disco I think it's a free pattern.

okay I was wrong, again, it's really http://www.robertkaufman.com/quiltin...s/strip_disco/ it was designed by toadusew

I'm confused. Does this mean you're looking for that specific pattern as a download or you're looking for a similar pattern as a FREE download? You won't find that specific pattern for free, download or otherwise.

If the first, it's at Connecting Threads, as I posted above.

Yep, looks like the Tube Quilt to me there is a tutorial at Missouri Star Co. I just watched it yesterday.

It sure looks like a variation of one called "Spools" You can get a free download of that pattern and then could adjust accordingly. Very pretty, might try it some day when I finish all of the 500 other projects I want to do.

Jenny Doan has a tute of a tube quilt that looks like this. I made one using Moda Panache fabrics and it's really pretty!

I think I saw something similar on Bonnie Hunter's website. It would be really easy to do. In fact, I'm going to do my next string quilt this way. It looks sooooo complicated but really isn't. And if you take two squares and put them together then cut 1/4 triangles you can mix & match where it looks like strings are going in different directions.

You could do this many ways, but I think the easiest is to sew a variety of strip sets, then cut the triangles from those.

I thought string too..............calla

Quilt Pattern
 

I purchased this quilt pattern from KeepSake Quilting- the pattern is in one of their latest Keepsake Quilting Magazines.

Didn't anyone see the link to the pattern for download? its on message #14 . The exact pattern...for download as asked for...

Wouldn't it be made into a square and then cut from corner to corner twice?

Sandy- This is what I found.

For those of you who are interested, you can google search an image. Steps are as follows:
Go to google images
Click on the camera where you enter your search
Click on the browse button and upload your image
Click the search button

LOL That hyperlink has been posted twice already and 'pointed to' a third time. The OP hasn't returned since she posed the question so perhaps she found it on her own. A simple Google search by name of the pattern (which was provided by the OP) sends you right to Connecting Threads and the downloadable version.

I don't know the pattern, but it looks like blocks turned on point with a black strip in the middle of every block.

Very pretty quilt and easy to make.

I don't think that would work. Half of the strips would go up and down, and the other half would go across the block. If you make long strip sets and cut out the triangles from top and bottom, all the strips will be going across the block so that when you sew them together into the square, you get the boxes.

Whereas the tube of the tube quilt from Missouri Star Co has 3 - 2 1/2" strips, this one has 2 - 2 1/2" (A & B) strips and
1 - 1 1/2" (Ca) and 1 - 1" (Cb) I did this by taking 1 - 2 1/2" (C)strip and cutting it into 2 uneven strips. I tried it this way & it worked fine. You can cut the C strips into any size you want. The object is to make them uneven. If you have any questions pm me. Unfortunately I no longer have my sample block, as I gave the quilt away & this was one that I failed to take a picture of.

I drew a string sq. and cut it corner to corner and it does work. Good luck with it! I'm saving my drawing and add it to "quilts I want to make"

Here is a $9 download of that pattern!!

I understand why the OP is looking for a free pattern. It drives me nuts to pay $8,$9,$10 + for a pattern that I have to use my ink and paper to get a printed copy! I am pleased to pay for someone's creativity but really! The price for some of these "downloadable" patterns is just gouging and greed. Ooops! Do I sound like a curmudgeon?!

"I found this quilt and it said it's called splits n strips. Does anyone know if it's called anything else?

To answer your questions-yes, it 'could' be called something else. "Summer in the Park". However, those blocks are on point, but of course not necessary. And, it appears as if the extra 'shadows' around the blocks are missing from the pattern you are looking for.

As for a free pattern written down-here you go--She calls it 'Summer at the Beach'

I haven't seen a single picture of a Splits n Strips or Summer in the Park that wasn't beautiful. Wonderful fabric choices on all the quilts.
