I just finished quilting this quilt. I made it for my department's Christmas party for a drawing...they paid me for the materials plus a little. If they hadn't paid me, I might have made something smaller and kept this one!! I am so happy with how it came out. It is 85x85, and quilted with a pantograph design on my short arm. Hope you all like it!!

Can't see the whole thing..it's too big and I couldn't back up any farther! LOL

Beautiful-I am making one similar. Your inspiration makes me want to sit and sew instead of pouring wine today! Darling Husband wouldn't appreciate that though! I too would have a hard time giving this beautiful quilt away also! Keep up the beautiful work!

You did an wonderful job on this!!! I love the fabrics and pattern :D :D :D

jljack 11-29-2009 09:27 PM

Hi Everyone!! Alaskasunshine asked me for the info on where the pattern is. It is the Dec 2009 American Patchwork and Quilting magazine.

When making it, the blocks are fairly easy, but you have to follow the photos to place the blocks to get the effect. I ended up making a copy of the photo and numbering the places where the blocks go to get the pattern right. You'll notice that every block has twin, and they have to be placed in the right place to get the square, square look.

I love how it came out, too. Hope you find it as easy as I did.

The pattern is called Illusion in Neutrals.

earthwalker 11-29-2009 09:28 PM

Very stylish....I can well understand how difficult it will be to part from this beauty.

jljack 11-29-2009 09:31 PM

You are all so generous with your praise!!! I thank you all for your encouragement. Thank you sincerely!!

Sandy1951 11-29-2009 09:36 PM

Wow, it really is striking! So beautiful. I agree with MollieSue. The winner of the drawing is going to be thrilled! :thumbup:

Wow! That will be one lucky coworker that wins your beautiful quilt. I'm sure it will be a hit with all of them and will make the ones that don't win very envious! Love the fabrics you chose. I guess I'll have to look for that magazine.
