love it!!

I'll try it agian tomorrow as I now get internet exploroer cannot display webpage. Have a great day, Huggies, Fay

Pregnant was my first thought too!! Like it but see so much trial and error for me.

I LOVE it!!! As long as the whole paper piecing foundation is printed, I'd be game to try it. Go for it and be sure you post pics when you're done!!!

For anyone who still has problems finding the file, here's a picture of the design.

Definitely not something I have the patience to try.

I wandered through a lot of pix there, with no idea which one you meant. The op art one looks great but IMHO it does not fit my personal view of a baby quilt as I think one might become upset seeing a quilt of this complexity subject to the 3 P's (Piss, poop, puke), dragged around on the floor and chewed upon. My personal view of baby quilts involves things that are colorful, very sturdy, have designs that lead to lots of talking at the toddler stage and, of course, are very washable.

Since you asked, I would suggest making that quilt for YOU and a different one for the baby you have in mind.

Would be great if you could read it.

I couldn't read the site. It was all in Arabic!

My virus check didnt like it.

neat art quilt but definitely not for me.

Surely this pattern is just shown draped over a ball or something. Cutting all those pieces to make an optical illusion would be a nightmare.

What a unique quilt idea! :lol: I think it would make a great lap quit for an expecting Mom. heheheheh

I'll be trying this as soon as I catch up on what I'm doing now! What a challenge. Paper piecing is what I like best and this looks fairly simple. I understand what is going on so can't wait to start. The exciting part is to enter it in a quilt show and then stand there and hear people say "How in the world did she do that?!" Can't wait!!
Thanks for the site showing the pattern.

That is so cool! But does look very hard...

Too complicated for me but I would love to see a completed quilt.

Guess I should try to download on the computer; my Droid won't do it.

In Russian--too complicated for me...

Same here

This is my reaction also.... I pity the poor baby who had to look at that one!

It looks like a variation of the log cabin, just has a very different color layout. Don't think it would be difficult at all.

good luck making it!!! wishing you success!

I know mine was in what I think was Russian. :cry:

link wont work and it is in foreign language

The pattern prints very small. I am guessing that the directions tell you to enlarge it - does anyone know how much to enlarge? (I know you could enlarge it any amount, but how much is suggested?)

when I clicked on the link, I got a Russian site and my virus protection software said it had just blocked Malware...

thanks for this post.I thought that I was losing it....first time in I got the site and when I went back, it went directly to the pattern.

I would love to attempt this but I do need a bit more written (in english) directions to go along with the pattern pictures.

If anyone figures it all out, maybe they would send along some instructions to go with the photos...wouldn't that be great?

I am going to bookmark for, perhaps a later date.

Welcome back, crkathleen.haven't seen you in a while.

Uh, the link went to a Russian page "in Russian." Is this a spam thing?

Like others, don't think this is a great baby quilt, but I love it just the same. A patient determined person could paper piece it. If I didn't already have a pile of fabrics waiting to be made into a quilt, I think it would be great fun to try. Hmmm. Think I"ll save it, just in case I'm inspired later. Look forward to seeing someone's version of this!

I went to the link and it is in Russian. Please recheck the link for all of us non-Russian quilters. Tee-Hee!

Nope not my cup of tea!

There is nothing to figure out:

The pattern very kindly provides all the foundations needed.

There is a grid of the 36 different blocks.

Each foundation is clearly labeled, numbered, and even shaded for fabric placement.

Some blocks have more than one foundation...yes, there might be a slight curve in it, but there is only ONE way to fit them together.

Seam allowances are not included - make sure the outside logs on each block section extend 1/4" past the edge of the foundation.

The pieces are all mostly straight with the exception of the outer logs of the curved pieces and some of the smaller sections.
Put an oversized piece on and trim to 1/4" past the edge of the foundation.
For the smaller sections, cut a scrap on the bias if you want. The seam is so short that gently bending into shape will work just as well.

When you sew some of the blocks together, there will be slight curve.

Some blocks are mirror images - which is clearly visible from the fist picture.

You can enlarge (or reduce) the size of the blocks as long your consistent with ALL the blocks.

Work slowly, keep yourself organized!!! and it's really a very easy quilt.

Always refer back to the main drawing for orientation.

My suggestion would be to make all the blocks, and then put them together into 4 quadrants.
That way you'll be working with smaller sections while piecing the curves.
Once you have the blocks sewn into the four quadrants, it's just a big four patch with straight seams.

I was amazed and impressed at how many people SUCCESSFULLY used Candlequilter's Star block as their initiation to paper piecing.

This is just bigger with more pieces, but not really any harder.

Wow!!! I LOVE that quilt!!! How do I get directions for a newbie - in English??? Virg

Hi! I LOVE IT! i'm not pregnat, but is gorgeus!
I would try some of the smaller pieces of the foundation to see how it would go.
I like MTS ... lot of work ... but not so complicated, just accuracy.
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Good luck if you try!
A big hug!

[quote=MTS]There is nothing to figure out



Once again,MTS, you have cut through all the --------- (fill in the blank) and gotten right to the meat of the matter. Your explanation is spot on. Thank you. But would you care to elaborate on the color angle you spoke of in your first post. I'd be interested in your thoughts on that. Thanks

tried to get on the site, but my McAfee said "Whoa".

OMG LOLOLOL I can't stop laughing!!!!!

The funny thing is I am HUGE fan of the black/ white/fuchsia combo but I really hate doing things in colorways that have already been done. Maybe I'd do lime green.

But I think you were refereing to my "crater" reference?

If you look at the overall shapes in the final design, it's really basically ust a circle on a square. But from the same vantage point, it could just as easily be concave instead of convex.

I really haven't had time to play with colors but maybe if the circle were darker than the square, then the effect would be reversed. Or - hmmm - split between cooler and warmer colors, since one recedes and the other approaches.

If one doesn't have access to a graphics program, it's enough to print out the picture in really light grey scale (or the reverse side of the printout) and use colored pencils pencils to play with different options. I'll try to post some examples later.

This is what I got when I clicked on the link, don't know what happened but tried it twice and got the same thing.

I think the reason it comes out at you is that the squares get bigger as they approach the center. Changing colors probably wouldn't alter the perspective.

Whoa that is one weird pattern. Nope, haven't tried it and I'm sure I never would. Looks really hard.
