More than you really wanted to know:):)

The site's search function is pretty great, isnit it? :)

ha ha ha....see how much i know...when i read the title I thought you might be bummed out at turning 20 yrs old...he he he...you see the big 6-0 is coming up in December and i keep thinking about that big number...just thought i would tell you how lucky you are but it wasn`t about that at all........dang my head is playing games with me...must be my age!! ha ha ha!!! :mrgreen:

I have seen many of these done up. I do not care for the pattern. Too many big pieces. My friends seem to think they need 20 different fat quarters for this and its just awful. Looks like a run away train wreck. Just my opinion.

Lol, I was thinking the same thing, only I keep seeing the 5-0 number coming around the bend...... Gotta check this pattern out tho.

I love this pattern, made 2 so far and my friend made one scrappy! That is one of my next projects! Right after my boss's quilt that will be a Christmas gift. Gee, I need to get started. So many quilts on my list to make!

Actually I have made several and I like them for fast quilts. The fabric though makes the quilt! I saw one made of all neutrals (beiges/tans/off whites) as a wedding quilt, and it was absolutely beautiful. It was a perfect canvas for some beautiful quilting. I have made one and appliqued desden plates on top and it doesn't look bad at all---after I get it quilted I will post it.

Again, that is what makes our art so much fun---it is full of variety.

*snicker*
I'm not partial to the pattern either, but that's just me! Though every time I hear/see it, you'll have me smiling and thinking ..... runaway train wreck!!!!!!!! :lol:

I'll agree on that ..... as is with many patterns ..... we can make or break a pattern with the right/wrong fabrics!

Just added beiges/tans/white turning twenty to my list, how beautiful that would be! The list just never ends, but this has got to be one for at the top of the list! I do love that pattern. When quilted they are beautiful! I dont' have loads of free time to quilt so this is great for me!

Take a look at this! Who doesn't love this!

I love this pattern for quick gifts, if you use big prints it is perfect. For the newbie it is something you can make and finish and be proud of it.

:thumbup:

I think the person who created this pattern has written 3 books, so there are quite a few different designs.

I have seen a lot of different patterns that I think are train wrecks. It really depends on fabric choices and arrangement of colors.
