HELP PLEASE! 3 Days to Name my Quilt Pattern
 
1 Attachment(s)
The hard work is done. I put together a pattern we are going to sell at our local quilt show in March here in Milwaukee. I have been writing and proofing this thing for so long You can make 16 different settings with just one block based on how you turn it and those around it, but the attached image is going on the cover. I CAN'T COME UP WITH A NAME. I AM SICK OF LOOKING AT IT :)

Any thoughts? The blue reminds me of the sea and I think of some kind of winding path too.
So far:
Sea & Shadows
Brookfield Traveler (city our guild is in)
Three Decades (last yr was our 30th for guild)
Wandering Quilter
Friendship Squares
West Suburban Wonder
Quilters' Highway
Quilters' Path
Snowboud (in memory of this winter) - 2ft on the ground now
West Suburban Patch
Quilters' Puzzle (I am leaning toward this)

Help...brain dead. Any and ALL ideas so very welcome!!!

It made me think of "Never take the straight path in life" so maybe that would be good too?

RedGarnet222 02-05-2014 05:38 PM

To me it looks like Blue Lightening Strikes ...

DJ 02-05-2014 05:45 PM

It's beautiful and unique!

Since the block can be rearranged to take on many different looks, how about something like:
Musical Chairs
Pick Your Path
Many Paths
But I like your ideas:

    One block and turn

    Billi 02-05-2014 05:52 PM

    How about choose your path to Brookfield?

    Also love it and your colors.

    Tartan 02-05-2014 05:53 PM

    Butterscotch Ripple, Lightning Strike, Lazy River....all that comes to mind from the picture.

    SlightlyOffQuilter 02-05-2014 05:57 PM

    what about "The Chosen Path " since they can choose the layout depending how the blocks are turned ?

    Nammie to 7 02-05-2014 06:00 PM

    That is a beautiful quilt. Others have suggested some good names! Good luck - it should sell well!

    cookie5 02-05-2014 06:11 PM

    My first thought was Down a Crooked Road or Down a Crooked Path.

    Jeanne S 02-05-2014 06:24 PM

    Swirling Seas or Tidal Wave.

    My thought is since there is a 'Quilter's Puzzle' quilt pattern already available in print, why not honor your area and call it 'The Brookfield Traveler'. With that name you may get more sales not only because it is a great looking quilt, but also the quilters locally would have a pattern named after something familiar to them.

    "Twist and Turn"

    Interesting suggestions. I like the one with the name of the area.

    mighty 02-05-2014 09:29 PM

    Such great ideas!!! Beautiful quilt!!!

    Bali to Brookfield--blue looks like Bali print

    DOTTYMO 02-05-2014 11:10 PM

    It reminds me of " Snakes and Ladders"

    Sunnye 02-06-2014 08:30 AM

    Yes, the blue is the path but the yellow stands out to me. How about The path to sunshine? The road to sunshine? Walking in sunshine?
    Something like that.

    ManiacQuilter2 02-06-2014 08:39 AM

    How about "Life's Pathway" None of us have lived our lives on a smooth straight path. At least not mine !!

    I like this name. I was also thinking about something with the word "puzzle" in it, for the same reason: the changing layout.

    Annie Pearl 02-06-2014 09:00 AM

    How about mountain trail. Looks like a road through the mountains.

    A soon as I saw this name, I said, this is it!!! I thought it was perfect. Best of luck with what ever you choose.

    Path of Life. The path of life is full of hills and valleys.

    Life's Little Turns?

    Johanna Fritz 02-06-2014 12:55 PM

    I decided on "Three Decades" for the show sale here and "Choose Your Path" or "Down the Crooked Path" for when it goes on Craftsy. Thank you all.

    Onebyone 02-06-2014 01:00 PM

    I like edgy names for a modern quilt. Cracks in the Panes. Bolt Action.

    tessagin 02-06-2014 01:12 PM

    How about "PATHWAY TO THE SQUARES".

    quilter2theend 02-06-2014 02:16 PM

    How about "Carving your Path in Life". It also made me think of the southwest and Grand Canyon.

    quiltstringz 02-06-2014 02:19 PM

    I really love The Chosen Path - just my opinion

    needles3thread 02-06-2014 02:41 PM

    I like Moonworks name.

    luce321 02-06-2014 03:24 PM

    How about Lightning Bolt

    Strips N Stripes?

    Capri 02-07-2014 12:31 AM

    Or what about Hip to Be Square? B as in Brookfield, Square as in HST, Hip as in modern.
    Clutching at straws, you think? Hmmm, Turn Key in the Straw.....Oh gosh, DON'T get me going....sick, sick, sick Capri
