It was supposed to be Trip Around the World, but I made a mistake - obviously. However, my husband loves it as it is. I'm not quite done with it yet - still have to figure out how to get the border pattern onto the border and do that. I think I'm going to do a fairly simple pattern.

I did it all on my 1976 Singer Futura II Model 920 machine. A workhorse that is still going along! The cross hatching is using a stitch that looks kind of like turkey tracks.

When it's totally done, I'll post another picture.

I agree! I'm kind of surprised this pattern isn't done more often. Great job :thumbup:

I love it as it is. Years ago I heard the saying for needlework: If you make a mistake consistantly, you just have a new pattern.

Mariposa 07-03-2011 05:11 PM

Great job on this! Glad hubby likes it too!

CorneliaVa 07-03-2011 06:07 PM

Lovely gradation of colors ..... makes me think of floating in a shaded lagoon .....

Nettie Phillips 07-03-2011 06:11 PM

Instead of a 'Trip Around the World', you met 'At the Crossroads'. Nice!

madamekelly 07-04-2011 11:30 AM

Nice! Ooops! Double post.

quilterjeri 07-04-2011 12:01 PM

Love it! You didn't make a mistake, you just made it your own!

Beautiful quilt - and now you can call yourself a pattern designer!

Janice Thompson 07-04-2011 05:12 PM

Very pretty. If you hadn't mentioned Trip around the world we would have thought that was the way it was supposed to be. Your husband has good taste.

deenatoo 07-04-2011 05:13 PM

Very nice!!

RobertaMarie 07-04-2011 05:39 PM

Really, really pretty! I like this better than the Trip pattern. Good job!
