I have done the same thing only with the half square triangle due to the fact that you can do so many many things with it. I finally changed.

http://www.the-teachers-pet.com/tpindex.html You need to look down the page a bit, but it is called Take Five. Good luck. Dina |
Okay, that didn't quite get to it...I just checked. You will need to click on quilt patterns in the left column. Then it is about the 4th pattern down. It is #200, if that helps any.

My sister was stuck on "Star Fling" & every one looked different, cuz she always used different fabric. She loved the pattern cuz the stars were floating & she didn't have to worry about loosing points.
|
I love it Would love to have the pattern. Where can I get it
|
They are very cute quilts !!! Love the kitties.
|
I love "Yellow Brick Road." It looks like a different pattern every time I make it. I haven't made one in about two years...I think it's time to make one!
|
When the fabrics are changed, it takes a bit of 'thinking' to realize that the same pattern is used.

Oh I love your quilts! Will have to add that pattern to my collection.
|
Lone Star's are my down fall. Making one for each of my 8 children, then if I feel like it, one for each of the grandchildren. BUT, right now, I'm going to make another wedding ring, just because I want to. LOL
|
....I just googled Take 5 quilt pattern and found it in many places, including on EBay...in case anyone is still looking.

How many fat quarters to make a king log cabin??
Since you have made a lot of log cabin quilts I thought you would be someone who could tell me how many fat quarters it takes to make a queen log cabin. Appreciate it if you can.

When you get your fill , you will know it and move on too. |
I want to get "stuck" on a tumblers quilt. I made one years ago that did NOT have Y seams but I can't remember the name or how to do it. I gave the quilt away but would love to make another one.
|
I love the quilts you are "stuck" on. At least you are stuck on an easy good looking pattern.
|
I am just the opposite. I can't seem to make the same pattern twice.
|
Those quilts are beautiful! I got pretty hung up on paper piecing until I went on to something that does not take so much time!
|
They are nice. Maybe you should switch to patterns like "Yellow Brick Road", or the "Turning Twenty" - they're many variations of that pattern.
|
I am making my third quilt with the same pattern, easy cause its a qayg and super fast. But starting to get bored with it. However, I did just finish a 500+ pc and am sticking to simpler patterns but more difficult than the last 3.
|
I'm not stuck on the "log cabin" but I enjoy working on it because it is relaxing to me when I have been working on something with a hard pattern.
|
I also do the same thing. I am hung up on pinwheels. Different layouts, scrappy or not, but I love to make them. So now I am helping a neighborhood teenager make her first quilt. Guess which pattern she chose? Yep, pinwheels. She is an artist, has better color sense than me. I will post when we get it built.
|
I just found out about this pattern and LOVE it. It is sooooo variable. You can make as many squares as you want so it can be a wall hanging, big quilt or baby. I even had squares left over and made placemats. If you are stuck in a pattern, this is a good one to be it. Love your colors!!!!
|
Both of your quilts are beautiful. If you like making them, then go ahead. Pattern doesn't matter with the different colors. I have made 3 or 4 patterns at least a couple of times.
Most important thing is to make quilts and show us pics. |
It was Trip Around the World for me awhile back....strip piecing and quick! Why don't you try one of those for a change? And I'll try my D9P which is close to your Take Five....
|
Stay stuck. These are gorgeous!
|
Sometimes I have too many quilt patterns I want to make, so I write the date I made the quilt that way I can try another one. I have to admit I don't think I have made more than one of any quilt pattern!
|
"If it feels good, do it!" as they said in the '60's. You are NOT in a rut. Artists often make long series (variations) of interpretations of one theme, experimenting and exploring possibilities.
|
Thanks for all the positive comments! I have spent part of today looking at patterns, and I have made no real decision for my next one. I've recently done a Trip around the World, D9P, Yellow Brick Road, and one really complicated artsy one....(other than the four Take 5's I just made!!) I am leaning towards a rail fence though, I think. I wasn't real happy with the last one I made...fabric selection is hard for me...so I might try that. Decisions, decisions....first I need to sandwich and quilt the last Take 5. :)

I think your quilts are wonderful and they look very different. I get "stuck on pattern". Right now I love the asterik quilt, it makes such a cute fast quilt, especially for kids quilts.
|
I've been gaga over the DP9 - just learned it recently. So I understand what you are saying. Oh - and my new favorite: inset circles with Cheryl Phillips' Circle-A-Round template. EASY PEASY!
|
Dina....Love the cat one w/black. green and gold , etc..Is there a tutorial on QB on this Take 5 pattern?.. Thanks for a reply..berni
|
Sitting here red faced. I misspoke. I have a different pattern, "take five goes crazy" it was given to me about 4 or 5 years ago. Guess I forgot the real name.

Am I the only one who gets stuck on one favorite pattern?
I am going to attach two pictures, just so you see what I am talking about. Each looks so different with the different fabrics. Dina |
I make A LOT of quilts, but I do have a few favorite easy to throw together patterns like warm wishes, enigma, tumbles, log cabins, all fun to do, yet I often mix it up with a new pattern or some paper piecing. As long as you are enjoying yourself then it shouldn't matter what pattern you pick for the year, just have a good time. :-)

I'm kind of atuck on boxy stars right now. Each one turns out to look so different by using a wide range of fabrics. Maybe I'll tire of it--if not, I'll just keep on making them! LOL!

Now I have to make one." I really like how easy they are to make. It's nice to make a quilt that you don't have to fight with. One without triangle or flying geese. The "Just Take Five" is a really fun, relaxing quilt to make. I understand you being hooked on it. I think I will make another one. You got me thinking about it. Thanks for showing us those pics of your pretty quilts.

Your quilts look nice. That is a nice pattern. I am all about "quick and easy" patterns as I don't have much time to sew. I am stuck on Disappearing 9 patch (done in 3 color way or 4 color way) and "Just Can't cut it". I have made several of both of these patterns.
