I agree with quilter 70, my first thought was a signature quilt...

Mona Marie, I think you are right. The original pattern may have been for signatures BUT this one is a jewel of a quilt. Perhaps just using up scraps.
Calicocat, this is a beautiful quilt and for whomever....A family treasure! |
Really nice quilt. Not a clue to pattern name, though.
|
really pretty...clueless as to name... fro some reason the first thing that came to my mind was it looked like candy bars.

I think it looks great! But I think this can easily be made by sewing three strips togetherand taking say like an x-block ruler and cutting them at an angle. then you have your slant but also a straight block..if that makes sense? It's the same technique as the lil twister.

Just wonderful and thank you for sharing, I don't have a clue to the name
Have a Blessed day Ellen |
Very pretty scrappy.
|
Thanks Lynda in Ohio. I added your design of Lightening to my USB/Flashdrive of patterns I want to make. That is exactly like the quilt. You Rock!
|
would love to have this pattern beautiful
|
Beautiful quilt and great use of scraps....quite unique and different. Yes, I think Lynda got the pattern correct...thanks:)
|
I can see that made with men's shirt plaid fabrics.
|
Lovely quilt. Don't know the name of the pattern though. Good luck finding it.
|
I've never seen a quilt like this. I hope someone can help you.
|
Well, we all love it!!

Very interesting post...thank you to everyone!!

I don't know the name of this quilt but I'm already trying to figure out how to make it quickly. I think I might make one where I cut and sew three strips together and then use a small square ruler to cut the sqares out from the three strips sewn together but cut it on an angle. What a quick, cute summer quilt this would make. Thank you for sharing!

I bet Jenny Dolan could figure out how to do this and do a Tute...Hope she reads this!
|
Beautiful quilt ...
|

My sample from EQ uses 6" blocks (10 rows x 12 columns) and finishes at 60" x 72". I'm going to do a super easy tutorial for you all. Be back with it in a flash.

Think its a signature block. Usually the printed parts are white so people can sign it. Than the printed fabric is where the blue fabric is
|
I don't know but I like it!

Isn't it wonderful. No matter what question is asked, someone here on the board has the right answer!!

Tutorial for the block
1 Attachment(s)
Here's the quick and easy way to make the block with strips. It's not difficult, but it does waste a lot of fabric. Ignore these fabrics. They're scraps.
1. Cut three strips. The middle strip should be 3 1/4" wide and 9 1/2" long. The top and bottom strips are 3 3/4" wide and 9 1/2" long. These strips are actually a bit longer. |

2. Sew the strips together with a 1/4" seam. Press toward the middle strip.
3. Place your 6 1/2" square ruler on top of the block. Placement is very important. |

4. On the corner of your ruler find the point that is 1/4" in from the bottom and 1/4" from the left side. Place that spot over any point in the seam between the middle strip and the bottom strip.
Once you've got that lined up, place the similar marking in upper right corner of your ruler on a spot in the seam between the middle strip and the top strip. Make sure that the lower left corner is still lined up correctly. Another spot to check are the other seams on the left and right sides. They should line up with the 3 1/4" mark on the ruler. On the ruler in the photo the line is in white. You can fudge this a bit, but not too much! |

5. Cut around the 6 1/2" ruler. You've got a block!

This is a very nice quilt. It wouldn't be very hard to make a pattern for this. I don't recall ever seeing that particular design before. It would be a great signature quilt with the lights and darks reversed.

Lynda, thanks that is easy and it can really be made any size.
|
Don't know the name of it but I sure do like the looks of it.

My pleasure! It can be made any size. The key measurement is the width of the center strip. Take your finished block size, divide in half and add 1/4". (You'd normally add 1/2" but since this is sewn at an angle you don't want the full 1/2".) So if you want an 8" finished block, the center strip would be 4 1/4" wide.
I do think you'll waste a lot of fabric with this method so when I make one (it's now on my very long list!) I'm going to make the top and bottom triangles from a rectangle. This will be much easier if I figure out how to trim the corners of the triangles so they line up properly with the central strip. I'll be working on that and will post a "trimmer" when I get it figured out. I've also been experimenting with colors/values and you can create some really neat effects by varying the values of the darks. Here's an example: |
Thanks for the tutorial, Lynda.
