The pattern is a hexagon. Same block throughout the quilt. Check out the book One Block Wonders Encore. You can bring it up on line. Hope this helps.

I have seen some of the most beautiful quilts come from using patterns from that book, I guess I need to pick it up. Wonderful quilt!

Maybe now he will come home soon and have a look and collect his quilt. Have a great idea for the back but will have to wait awhile. Going to go back and work on my kitten/flower nine patch.

Hi Bailey, I love, love, love this quilt. I bought some zebra fabric and was planning to make a OBW with it.....wow, I love yours!! Ellen

sylvia77 03-22-2010 02:44 PM

Oh, you're the one that made that pretty quilt with the kitties and flowers? You are so talented it's not funny.

Belles.hold 03-22-2010 06:55 PM

Absolutely stunning quilt and fine workwomanship!

SandyMac 03-23-2010 06:58 AM

How many yards of fabric did you need to make your quilt.I have to keep coming back to look at it . It's just awsome. :-P

I think I had 4 meters of fabric when I started and have nothing left. Used every piece of it! This was fabric that had been sitting in the closet waiting for the perfect pattern so I am not really sure how much was there. I really had a hard time cutting it up until I got the first cut done then I figured Oh, well, done now....

Thanks everyone for your very kind remarks.

You and your Lions eye fabric are what ignited me to get started on my first OBW. And today I sealed a deal to purchase a short arm quilting set up. Thank you for sharing your creativitiy.

Thank ou Wini! I am so green with envy about your short arm quilting set up. Enjoy! Will be watching for pictures of your OBW too.

SandiMac I think I had four meters of fabric. I only had enough to do the 6 repeats.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.

I was so taken with your quilt that I did find (after a 1/12 week search) the fabric in the sepia. I got 5 yds so I should have enough to put some of the original fabric on the back as a comparison. Not sure but it should be about #7 in the line of fabrics I have chosen. Not sure I will be able to do any thing as beautiful as yours but your inspiration will help.
As for my quilting system, I really should pay other bills but the price was too good to pass up and expect to find again. LOL

This is beautiful, My home is done on this theme and have made several Jungle animal quilts, I have my fabric and am going to copy you. You know when some one copies it is really a form of flattery. Great job Evelyn 1

pollyjvan9 06-22-2010 05:53 AM

This is an absolutely beautiful quilt. I hope you don't mind if I use some of your ideas!

billswife99 06-25-2014 07:47 AM
