I have the pattern, but have not made it. How about appliquing a "path" from the bottom of the quilt to the top when you have it done.

I've made several and it's one of my favorites; it's easy and I think looks good. Just don't buy it.

This was the pattern used in a beginner quilting class I took. I have since made a couple more. I thought as you said, where is the 'road'??, but it is a relatively easy pattern.

I was thinking the same thing...the disapearing nine patch is just as easy, like the looks of it and free.

Here is a free Pattern from Eleanor Burns...Fence Rail http://www.quiltinaday.com/freepatte...namonswirl.pdf (no not a fat Quarter...its just one I was looking at prior to me reading this. Thought I would share.)

I have the pattern and material - just haven't made it yet. I like to do something simple now and then so I can be more creative with my quilting.

I think it is for the new quilter and can be used with fat quarters. A seasoned quilter could look at the picture and figure it out whereas a new quilter could not. It is often used in beginning quilting classes. Another one is the Turning Twenty pattern, very similar.

I agree with the other comments. The pattern uses FQ with very little waste, it is easy for a beginner since the instructions are so clear, and it can be finished quickly. I have finished a top in a few hours. But it doesn't look like an "easy-peasy" quilt to me; I think the variety of fabrics give it a more complex look.

I do agree with you on the TTs I did one as a backing to a quilt and I hated the quilt ever after :thumbdown:

I bought the pattern for my first quilt because it was easy and it turned out very nice. I made two others after that until I got comfortable cutting and so on. I guess if you bought yellow fabric and placed it to form the road it would look like the Yellow Brick Road.

I often ask myself "why did I buy that pattern" AFTER I've bought it. Alot of times I find myself buying patterns just to patronize the quilt shop. I have so many purse patterns, I have they yellow brick road, turning 20 & some really difficult ones but I tend to see something I like & will wind up making it instead. I have sooooo many patterns that I didn't need to do the project but still bought them! Helps keep the economy going!
