The pattern is my own design using Sugar Bowl (???) blocks and HSTs. The blocks are 10" square. The Sugar Bowl blocks began as 7" squares for the corner triangles, sew up 1/4" on both sides of the middle line and cut apart. The center square of the Sugar Bowl is 7 5/8". I didn't measure the 4 corner blocks of the first middle row, just sewed a floral and beige together, sewed a triangle of floral to it, then cut out a 10 1/2" square lining up the 45 degree angle of my ruler on the seam lines.

I can't find that block anywhere under the name of Sugar Bowl but I think that is what EQ calls it.

I love it and think you did a wonderful job.

If you get sick of it let me know it would go good in my bedroom. LOL

Good job. :thumbup:

knlsmith 02-02-2010 06:05 PM

WOW! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! You did an amazing job with the pattern and colors! I especially like that your corners and points match. I am a little OCD and notice this type of thing first. Your quilt is simply wonderful!

SUPER job, if you would like to share the pattern I would love to have it.

I almost have my hubby talked into letting me get EQ 6 or 5 :)

I am definitely bookmarking this one!

SharonC 02-02-2010 06:05 PM

Wow....B E A U T I F U L. I love the tranquility that this quilt shows. Great job!!!

Blue Bell 02-02-2010 06:26 PM

Your quilt is beautiful and it would be just perfect for my daughter. What is the fabric you used?

RedGarnet222 02-02-2010 08:22 PM

Lovely!

ctmhjenn 02-02-2010 08:30 PM

I am with Ibquiltin...just ship priority to MY house...lol This is perfect for my bedroom as well as I have 'perfect beige' walls. I am at a loss as to how you came up with the block, but it is fantastic. There is a broken sugar bowl block on quilters cache, but it doesn't look like this. It would be wonderful if you could actually post the pattern for that block, I would be making it tomorrow, and I can't even use a rotary cutter yet...shoulder surgery and I am sitting this out for about 8 weeks. so, tell us the name of the fabrics. I would love to have some myself.

pittsburgpam 02-02-2010 08:38 PM

Wow ladies, thank you. I so appreciate the nice words. I loved this fabric and had to order it as soon as I saw it and it makes me smile wide to know that you like it.

The fabric is called Cotillion by Faye Burgos for Marcus Fabrics http://www.marcusfabrics.com/cgi-bin...1&View=All&v=1
There are several online retailers that I have seen different pieces of the collection at and I got it at Hancock's of Paducah.

I used EQ6 to design it and to get the basic measurements. I don't always use the EQ6 cutting requirements because there are much simpler ways to make blocks than cutting and sewing each piece, like HSTs. I can send it or write it up if you want it.

pittsburgpam 02-02-2010 08:48 PM

lol... I also have beige walls in my bedroom. They aren't light beight, they are more like the darker beige in the quilt.

The block is in EQ6 and it's called Sugar Bowl. I knew I wanted big pieces of the floral and was scrolling through blocks looking for something to use as more of a background block or setting block just to go around the floral. Nothing too complicated and that one caught my eye with the potential to make a secondary pattern when put together. I bet a lot of blocks would work with it as it is a simple design overall.

cr12cats 02-02-2010 10:53 PM

very pretty very well done.

knlsmith 02-03-2010 01:20 AM

If you don't mind my asking, what were your yardages? A guess would be good enough for me. I have some fabric I scooped up yards of a line and this pattern is a good idea starter for me.

mpspeedy 02-03-2010 04:30 AM

I could use some accidents like that. Great job.

Kara 02-03-2010 04:53 AM

That IS a very happy accident :D

Jingle 02-03-2010 06:31 AM

Absolutely gorgeous!!! I love the pattern. A win win for you.

Harmony 02-03-2010 06:39 AM

Gorgeous! Nice restful colors--be sure and post a pic when you get it quilted!

pittsburgpam 02-03-2010 07:12 AM

The yardage from my order is:
For HSTs
2 yd MARCUS COTILLION ROSE BOUQUET SPA (large floral)
1 yd MARCUS COTILLION COUNTRY TOILE TAN
1 yd MARCUS COTILLION COUNTRY TOILE SPA

For Sugar Bowl
1 yd MARCUS COTILLION ROSEBUD SPA BLUE
1 yd MARCUS COTILLION PADDOCK PAISLEY SPA
1 yd MARCUS COTILLION SCRATCH DOT TAN
1 yd MARCUS COTILLION SCRATCH DOT COFFEE

Border
3 yd MARCUS COTILLION PAISLEY STRIPE

I just thought that I need fabric for binding. I always forget it and need to start remembering to get 1 1/2 yd or so for that. I have bits and pieces left, some more than others, that I'll do pillows with.

nena 02-03-2010 07:29 AM

Such a restful looking quilt, perfect for a bedroom.
And the design is unique~~~
Keep up the great work, Pam!

Sheila Elaine 02-15-2010 07:53 PM

Your quilting accident turned out great. What kind of batting did you use...it looks so nice. I need to think outside of the box & chose more blues/greens for my quilts.
