The 'puzzle' piece is the symbol for autism, and a quilt like this is on my 'to do' list. Susy, you did an AWESOME job without having a pattern! I started trying to figure out how many different blocks there are in it and gave up :shock: :shock: :shock: How many are there?

There has been a special production of autism puzzle fabric - which I didn't buy when I should have :oops: :oops: :oops: It has multi-color puzzle pieces - don't know the color of the background. Has anyone seen it? I didn't look at ALL the fabrics during my Bunny Hop madness, but probably should have! Both of my grandsons are autistic, and I want to make 2 MORE quilts for them. They've just about worn out the quilts I've already made!

Hobby Lobby has the autism puzzle fabric if you are close to one.

Susy, I love your puzzle quilt!!! You did a great job. He'll love it. What size is the quilt? I'm guessing about 54x74.

To all forum members---I am trying to find out how to piece this pattern from pics I've seen. How do you think it would look using busy, sports- themed fabrics for the puzzle pieces---would it lose the bold, graphic look that Susy's quilt has?

TFS.

Ranger - do you have one of the EQs? You could try pasting your fabric into EQ and putting it into the puzzle quilt to see how it looks.
