This is (hopefully) the picture of the quilt pattern that I'm searching for.



Yea ! ! ! !! I checked and I did it, I finally did it!!!!!!

Couldn't you break it down for yourself? What I mean is there are three different block sizes inside the border. Create your own size. It's a beautiful pattern. I seem to struggle with specific ruler cuttings, so I continue the pattern only with my own sizing. And it does work it just takes a little time to break it down. You could take a section of the pattern that has all three blocks in it, photo copy, to the size you like. So this way you have a master copy of the pattern. I hope this helps. I could try and explain further if you need me too.

I've done that on so many other patterns but this one is just puzzling me. I'll get it sooner or later. I tried to cut it out of some scrap and got the blocks to work right, it's just coordinating the sizes of them that I'm having problems with.

I see your post the picture of the pattern is on grid paper, maybe you can duplicate the pattern on the grid. Maybe that might help. How about this, start with the smallest block. How about making the block 2 inches. Now make four of them. Lay them out as a four patch. Now use this size for the medium block. Then take the medium block and one of the two inch block and place two inch on top of med and and place one on side that is the size of the large block. I hope this helps.

I have trouble too .... I know the pattern is workable but sometimes a different way of getting the size can help. I don't always work with the directions from a pattern I usually work from the picture alone. Good luck

Looks interesting...don't recall seeing this one. Not quite sure what size this is. By my eye and some rough arithmetic NOT including seam allowances...
Small blocks would have 4"HST and 1"frame to make 6"
Medium blocks would have 6"HST and 2"frame to make 12"
Large blocks would have 12"HST and 3"frame to make 18"
Inner border 1/2"
Outer border 6"
Finished size approx 85x109
Always give credit to your source(s) for ideas/inspirations. Hope this helps.

Sure looks like it is a good start!
The quilt is most definitely quite unique ... I don't remember having seen anything like it .... cool! <wave>

I remember seeing this quilt. I think it was in a catalog. I have been searching online but so far I have not found it. It will surface somewhere.

the block is in www.quilterscache.com somewhere. I've seen it there, I think it's in a black and white version.

ditto

Thanks. Maybe that's the problem, I was going at it from the wrong direction by trying to do the large one first. I'm going to try it again in reverse this time.

I wonder if the "boxes" aren't actually framed squares that have been cut in half.
If I were looking at it, the big block is 12", the other block is actually a four patch of blocks, the biggest of which is six inches, which would make the smaller ones to finish at three inches ...
nope, that isn't correct .... Bobbinwinder's numbers are good ...
I didn't see that set of blocks that went with the big block.
It sure is an attractive quilt! <wave>

Wow, that is a really pretty quilt. I hope you find it and share it with us!

okay ... I keep coming back! <g>
Have a question ... those blocks aren't actually HST with a frame ... they look to me as though they are squares with a frame around it, cut in half and then rearranged and sewn back together again ...
If you were to create those blocks with this technique, would you add 7/8 inch to each part of the square, or just to the final measurement of the square you want it to be?
as in:
I want the whole thing to finish at twelve inches, so I would cut the first square at 9 and 7/8 inches, add the 3.5 strips around, then cut in half?
(do you know how many quilts I have made from just this type of thread??? LOL)
what do you think, Miss Bobbin ... would that work? <wave>

I found this on Quilter's Cache - might help you get started: http://www.quilterscache.com/B/BettysDelightBlock.html

I love the way this quilt is layed out. I get bored making the same block for a whole quilt. I like this because it is all different sizes.

On quilter's cache there is also a pattern called Night and Day. I think it is an 8" block.

SUCCESS! Thank you so much, Miss redpurse lady <wave>~
The thing to always remember about a quilt you are attracted to - - there are the mechanics and techniques it takes to accomplish the design, but many times the design is accented or complicated or attractive because of the fabric choice ...
and, the converse is true! Sometimes, I see a wonderful pattern, but darn! Somebody selected fabric I can't get along with, and it takes a LOT of imagination to move my brain from the picture to options.
This is what is so great about the forum ... someone posts a picture, says: What is this pattern?
Someone will come along to do the math, and then bless the researcher hearts! Someone will come with a website that shows how to make the block ... what a good deal! <wave>

yay! I knew I had seen it and I remembered the black and white but not the name :)

I bet this a Coleen Wise quilt. She has a book on Amazon

So glad it is the pattern you want. We quilters stick together and always want to help each other - it is so great!

Now maybe someone can help me find a pattern for a horse theme quilt. My brother in law has requested a lap quilt and he loves horses and the southwest style - he lives in Arizona. I don't mind applique but definitely do not prefer it. Any one have any ideas?

red purse lady,
I think I saw a panel of two or three horses running in the panel on thebestkeptsecret.com .

If not there try the stitching post.com

rapture, it looks like hst's with a log cabin border, and the type of fabric gives it a dimentional look, or at least that is what I am seeing. I have no idea about the size of the blocks.
