Many have privately posted inquiring about my Avatar. Some have asked for larger pics. So this is for them.

This is from a pattern called "Sunset" by Julie Popa. The pattern is pretty easy as there aren't many seams to match. I took this as a class and was suppose to choose totally random color stripes . . . but just could not bring myself to do that. Now I've recently discovered this pattern on Quilters Cache (Irish Plaid) but with a much more desireable border. Of course the Irish Plaid uses 3 stripes and the Sunset just uses 2 stripes.

The sweatshirt jacket was made with the scraps from the quilt. I should also mention the quilting was done by the gals at The Olde Green Cupboard in Jacksonville, Fl on the Statler using a pattern I believe is called "spilt paint" using King Tut's "Joseph's Coat #918" on the front and green on the back.

Love the bright colors!! Beautiful quilt, beautiful job!! :-D ;)

The colors really pop. And I really like the jacket. Did you make it?

Absolutely Fabulous! Front and back - just wonderful. Thanks so much for showing this to us!

thanks for sharing

The quilt is so striking, great color choice too. Amazing where left over fabric can end up too :)

Absolutely LOVE it!!!! :thumbup:

that is very very awesome! I did the irish plaid from quilters cache, but yours is way nicer!

Sure, I made the jacket at a retreat last fall. My only dislike about it was not putting pockets in it.

Wonderful job on both! I love how the black makes the colors stand out! And the quilting is great, too!
