    Three things I like about that quilt:
    1 - that the puzzle has a "border"
    2 - the quilting
    3 - the fabric
    4 - the black frame
    5 - the way the pieces go back and forth in the pattern (not sure how to describe it better)
    oh, did I say 3??? There's lots I like about that quilt!

    I have made my grandson this quilt pattern for his first Christmas. We now have two more grandkids born so I will make two more of this pattern for them this Christmas.
    I agree they are fun to make.

    Great looking quilt you have made.

    Love your quilt! I've made this pattern myself -- but did not think of the black for the 'missing pieces' Wish I'd thought of that!! Very clever!

    Very cool. I really like the "missing" pieces, that was a great idea. I like the quilting, and the colors, too. Great job! :thumbup:
