    This was an accident. I was playing around with some stripes of fabric tryting to make a scrappy quilt for DH. I took Rhonda's idea on HTS's and Omak's idea on jelly roll and combimed tthe two and wound up with this design. I didn't know there was any kind of a design until I was laying the blocks out and there it was. I got so excited that I made my whole family come look at it, now I have to show it to you all.
    There is 2 different pic's. I have more blocks than this just so you know. Thank you for looking.

    Lots of motion in the design.

    Very masculine looking.

    Thank You. Even tho my DH has seen it he doesn't know it if for him. I have to do most of my sewing while he is home because little man will bug him instead of me. I'm still in shock that I did this.

    I think either a red (to match the stripe) or a dark blue sashing would be great. But I prefer the red..... :lol: :lol:
