Hello All, I've just spent two weeks traveling aroung Colorado and would love to make a quilt with one of these two Colorado quilt blocks. I've been searching the internet and my collection of quilt magazines/books but really haven't found a pattern. I'd be happy to purchase the pattern or download it. I'd love to see a picture of a quilt with either one of these blocks. The only thing better than finding a quilt pattern would be to go back to Colorado and start my vacation all over again:)
Thanks, Kathy

Glad you had a good time in Colorado. I am leaving Friday - from Texas - to spend a week in Breckenridge. Can't wait.
Be sure and show us pictures of your Colorado inspiration quilt.
Blessings,
Scherrie

I've seen patterns for their state flower - the Columbine
If you google Colorado state flower and click on the First item - kids coloring pages - there's a very good sized coloring page w/ an outlined columbine. Perfect for applique.
They have them for every state's flower

Harriet Hargrave's shop and the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum. Geography is not my long suit, but if those 2 are near, worth visiting

Kathy, where all did you go in my beautiful state?

Scherrie, Brechenridge is a cute little town. What brings you to B?

We stayed at the absolutely charming Abbett Placer Inn in Breckenridge for three days in June. We had a fantastic time, definitely visit the Tea Time Quilt Shop, nice people. I recommend the Kenosha Steak House and the Heritage House, both fantastic food. We rented bikes, but not for long, we come from the LowCountry of South Carolina and exercising in the mountains wore us out. We also spent some time in Denver and Manitou Springs. Loved the Cog Railway and Garden of the Gods.
I'll definitely send a pic as soon as I can get it going. Thanks everyone.

Ah yes, I too can relate to 'needing' to go back to Colorado for another vacation. I would have a hard time if I lived there.....how on earth would I find time to quilt for the beauty that is outside....oh, maybe in Winter? 8-)
