I have never seen this pattern. It is a wonderful quilt and manly. I have always liked flannel plaids in a quilt, but don't see it often enough. You did a wonderful job and can hardly wait to see the completed quilt.

The Pattern is called "Twist & Shout" and was in the Quiltmaker Jan/Feb -06 issue. I too live in Michigan and just finnished this for my husband! There is a different set of blocks to use for making a baby sized quilt.

making this one with plaid homespuns and flannels- 4 rows laid out on my bed *2 rows to go*
i think it looks masculine
second picture is the rows going in the direction they are supposed to go when finished.

the second pic i simply walked over to the side of the bed- i had the strips laid out lengthwise on the bed (i have a queen-it's closer to a king-)but the rows are supposed to be horizontal..so thought i would show that direction- after i had (thoughtlessly) taken the pic in the incorrect direction
That's really neat. So is the second pic. laying from top to bottom?
;)
