Here are the 2 quilts I completed in the wee hours of Christmas morning. They were given today fresh out of the dryer...

What cool upbeat quilts. Love the shadows on the first one. It looks like the blocks a floating. Good job!

i love those patterns! you did a great job!

Those are both beautiful. I love the shadow effect on the first one. That pattern is on my want to do list. Great job on both and thanks for sharing.

They are both totally awesome quilts! I have seen the first one before and think it would work well for a quilt for my DS. Would you mind sharing the name of the pattern?

Love both of them! I would love to know what both patterns are. Thanks!

I have the shadow pattern. I forgot about it and seein yours, I think mine will be my first project for the New Year. Thanks for sharing

Very nice work on both of them! I'm looking forward to doing a shadow box one, also.

They look great. Thanks for sharing.

love the shadow one thanks for posting-- both loverly quilts

beautiful and love your patterns, especially one that looks like a shadow. nice work

Great quilt! That brown one is exactly what I would like to make for my son. everything about it is perfect for his guest room bed. Please, the name of the pattern??

Beautiful!!!

Would like names and where can get both patterns...the black, white and blue one would be perfect for my son.

beautiful job on both quilts!

I love the personalized touch you gave to both. Really different, very special.

I found the pattern for the first one. Just google Shadow Box Quilt pattern. Definitely on my list. Thanks for the inspiration!

i love them both but would really love the pattern name for the second one with black and white. great quilts!!

both are very nice esp love the first one

both are very nice esp love the first one

Very dramatic pieces - well done. Love them

Both are beautiful

Love those quilts! nice contemporary look.

i sat and figured out how to do the second one, it's a nine patch, with two being hst's! great. I can do that. i saw two others here too that i think i can do. i'll put the print outs with a couple of others i got for future reference.
great quilts :thumbup:

I love them both. The off center placement of the split nine patch is great. Just did one centered - might have to try it your way too!

Great job on both quilts.

Very nice work!

The 2nd one is from the McCall's Quilting magazine-May/June 2010 issue, it is called Paradigm Shift. It is very easy to make, I'm making one for my oldest daughter now, with purple.

It is really not a 9 patch. You use 2 strips 3 1/2 by 9 1/2 inch each of the black and white, 2 squares 3 1/2 inch of the black and white, 2 squares 3 1/2 inch of what every color you want in the center.
Sew the blocks white blocks together with the color in the center, do the same for the black. Put them on top of each other, with long seam opposite directions. Sew 1/4 seam on each side, cut in center then you have 2 blocks, half black/half white with color center.
Easier then a 9 patch with less sewing. Hope this helps everyone.

love those

Names of the patterns are:

The first picture is called Shadow Box http://www.ericas.com/quilting/patterns/39955b.jpg

The second picture is called the Paradigm Shift which was featured in McCalls Quilting May/June2010 issue they have the free pillow pattern for this quilt here http://www.mccallsquilting.com/articles/Paradigm_Shift

Sorry I took soooo long to respond to your replies. Thank-you all for the nice compliments, it was greatly appreciated.

Here is where the black and white one came from, it was featured in the McCalls May/June 2010 issue, called the Paradigm Shift, they have a free pillow that matches this quilt http://www.mccallsquilting.com/articles/Paradigm_Shift,

I really like both of the quilts, they are beautiful.

Mountainpeek Creations and the pattern is 312 Shadowbox. $8 and they will send it to your email address.

I want to make a graduation quilt for one of our grandsons. I have gathered a good number of feature fabrics to put in the Shadowboxes. Hopefully that will work.

I love, love, love the first quilt - what a great 3-D effect - great job. I love the second one as well - I've been thinking about my next family reunion quilt and was thinking about a white and black one and that pattern would be perfect. I know my daughter would love the black and white one. Great job and very, very nice quilts - which I were a lucky recipient of either one - can I join your family? lol

Beautiful. You did a great job!
