This is the Warm Wishes quilt I just finished for our spare room. The picture on the quilt pattern is very busy and hard to see what it looks like. Still need to do the sham and dust ruffle. (Granddaughters request for "new beautiful dresses" was put on the front burner.

I Had to look a couple times at the lay out myself recently when I made this pattern. I had some on the design wall wrong and kept looking at the download. My printer is only in black and white so I had the download up on the computer until i got it in my head. sometimes so easy and your brain won't work. Happy sewing.

Warm wishes is so easy to graph, try that instead of looking for a pattern. Big squares and a 3 rail fence block that has two colors on the outsides and a slightly wider neutral on the inside. YOU pick the block size.

Our Community Service group has made hundreds of these quilts for distrubution, and becuse of the fabric combinations, all look different. It is easy to make kits for the rest of the guild to help make the quilts. They all turn out so pretty.

The layout I like best is when the framed square is a large print with good clear colors and the unframed square is a matching print but a bit less dominant. Then the rail fence needs to be two of the darker colors in the prints with a neutral center rail. And the rail fence looks good in tiny prints, too, or blenders as some of you call them.

The key here is that one square is surrounded by one color in the three strip blocks, and then the next center is surrounded by the color on the other side of the strip blocks. I made one with a shark print as the center squares for one grandson and another with a dragon print in that center square. They love them! And it is such an easy pattern to sew and can be quilted by a novice on a domestic machine. Love it!
