This is the second Yellow Brick Road that I have completed, this I just received back from my LA, just needs the binding and a label. I found the instructions somewhat confusing, but I was thinking it was more difficult than it actually was, and as long as you have the correct size of each block you will be ok.

Where can I find the directions for this quilt, I've searched but to no avail. Thanks

The pattern is from "Atkinson Designs" one of life's simple pleasures and it is called "Yellow Brick Road" on their website look for pattern number ATK#126, and see their website at the following http://atkinsondesigns.com

Your local quilt shop should also be able to order the pattern for you if they don't have one in stock.

Best of Luck

Now you all have me worried. I have 12 fatquarters picked out and bought to make my first YBR quilt. Maybe I better use it for a project at our "Sew Day with Quilters" so I have lots of help.

I haven't made one but I really enjoyed some of the quilts that you all have posted. :)

I've made the yellow brick road three times and three times have made mistakes piecing it together. Good luck

Dina I love your mix of blue and purples - fabulous colors together. Stunningly beautiful quilt. Great Job.

Sorry you are having issues with your quilt but please know you are not alone!

Can you do your placement just from the picture?

I just looked at a picture of a quilt. Looks quite simple.

Sew the two small squares together.
Sew the smaller rectangle along the double square edge.
Sew the 2nd smaller rectangle along the first rectangles edge.
(or you can sew the two smaller rectangles together first then sew to the double square strip)

Lay this piece on the table face up with the double square strip on top. Place the larger rectangle vertically along the right side of the first patch.

When you've completed a few, start laying them out side by side and always turn the next block a quarter turn.

This is according to the "Yellow Brick Road" picture I saw.

If there is supposed to be a "yellow brick" pattern come out, I've not recognized it. Sorry.

Yes alot of People like this I burned the pattern along with the Turning Twenty Four x Four.
It's just tooo...........I don't even have words to describe how it made me feel. Sorry, I've seen beautiful quilts out of these patterns but they are not my cup of tea.

It doesn't look like any set pattern to me, looks like they are turned every which way.And why they call it yellow brick road is a mystery to me, hardly anyone makes it yellow and I see sign of a road. LOL :-D :-D

I decided to do my own thing and I am not following those goofy instructions. I don't get the name of this quilt either but I know it is my first and last one. I hate it with a passion. I so appreciate all of you who replied to my original message. You are a great bunch!

If you look at the full pattern on the "Finishing Page", of your pattern - some of your blocks will have three diff. fabrics, some of your blocks will have 4 diff. fabrics, and then some of the blocks will have 5 diff. fabrics,

I made a copy of that pattern for myself to color up as I completed putting the quilt together, and started in the bottom left corner, saw the corner block had 3 fabrics,
then 2nd Block had 4 fabrics,
3rd block in that row has 4 fabrics as well,
and 4th block has 5 fabrics

- I placed them just as seen in the pattern, and crossed off/colored - each as I completed stitching them together.

I never did figure out if there was to be some designation for "a Road", but mine worked out but only by completing it as I outlined above.

This pattern makes a very large quilt!!
I hope this may help you out. Have a great day!!

I have enjoyed reading this thread. Thanks much!! I have the pattern sitting in my sewing room unused because I try to read a pattern through before starting a quilt and I could not make heads or tails out of the asssembly. I have a friend who loves the pattern and makes beautiful quilts using it, she tried to explain it to me and got mixed up.

At least I am not alone thinking this is more complicated than it looks.

Thanks much!!!

I made a Yellow Brick Road quilt for my niece and really enjoyed it - playing with colour combinations in the blocks and in the layout. Didn't notice any problems in the directions, either. The randomness and fun made me think that it was a lot like a trip to the Wizard of Oz... just my interpretation, though!

Have fun doing it and just let the colours melt into each other!

I was basing my description on a very light colored quilt in a picture. I realized later that I was missing some of the arrangements when I saw another quilt made from fabrics with ore contrast.

Thanks, I was very pleased with my final result. I am one of those who can't picture the finished product ahead, and every quilt is a surprise to me.

Hi Sue,
Believe it or not, this was my very first quilt project at our LQS and it drove me nuts also, it ended up ok, but never again, and because of this quilt I became the "problem child" to my quilting teacher...just don't give up.

I have the Yellow Brick Road Pattern and I've never been able to figure it out...LOL

Someone asked me to post a picture of my Yellow Brick Road. It's a king size made in blues, greens and purples. Many of the fabric have a metallic gold thread or pattern in them. It's folded into fourths because it's too big for one person to hold it up. Only arms to help were my hubby's! I'm posting three pictures; one of the folded quilt and two close ups. Not sure if the metallics are visible or not.

If this posts twice, sorry.
What a beautiful quilt Karen. I still don't know if I want to try one of these. Some are having trouble, however, when I check on the pattern, it says "easy"!?!

When I made my version of YBR, I had not been quilting for very long and I had great fun doing it. I think you have to be comfortable with randomness and have a general colour scheme that you like.

Here is mine.

I love yours. There's just something about blues and yellows together that is so pretty.

I agree about the randomness. I just saw a gorgeous quilt on Erica's (South Bend,IN quilt shop) Facebook page that was beautiful. It's labeled Blueberry Confetti. Very random browns and other neutrals.

I like this one very well. The quilt patterns are nice too especially the one on the border.

Very Pretty, Maggie
