Simply gorgeous!

Sometimes if we have probs where they all meet we put something there to cover it up.

I'm done with it as it is not working out at all so what I've got I'll make a pillow or some thing. I just ordered the book on the twisted log cabin, the square one. I made these and placed them in the order that I have them in. I did not make a map at all, just played wiht the triangles and that is what I got. I know there is a book out some where and I'm thinking it's the soft expression site that sells those books on the circular quilts or quilts with out corners. I may one day order that book. I gave up on templates and such and I can't get paper peicing down pat so that is out. Have agreat day, Huggies, Fay

I do want to let you know that I think you did a fantastic job on this one. As I mentioned, I've done the paper piece version and I would never attempt to do what you did! Great job. You can still use it in a wallhanging!

B Jane 02-20-2011 09:25 PM

Fay - that is stunning. I'll be watching to see where you go with it...

Annz 02-20-2011 10:07 PM

It is unique and lovely.

Bobbinchick 02-20-2011 11:25 PM

Ya know I was thinking too that I could make it a front of a tote. Wouldn't that open some eyes??? I just might give it a shot. I can see if I can come up with some thing like it any way and that would be interesting as it is large enough to be a tote. We'll see tomorrow, but I decided to wait til my books get here and see what they are and then give it another try. Too bad this didn't go very dern far. Have a great night, Huggies, Fay

I think a tote would be a great idea. Please just don't put it away somewhere (unless you want to put it in my hands, lol) Have never seen anything like it, simply gorgeous, would definitely turn heads when you carried it as a tote.

Very Cool. Never have seen that pattern before. Nice Job.

malega 02-21-2011 09:10 AM

That is so very cool.

shopaholic97 02-21-2011 09:13 AM

That is fabulous

Rock Lady 02-21-2011 01:15 PM

Oh, I love it. The colors and the pattern are both fantastic. Can't wait to see the whole quilt in a picture.

sunkistmi 02-22-2011 12:57 PM

Like the idea of a tote. Very, very nice.

tealfalcon 02-22-2011 01:00 PM

Beautiful

annette1952 02-22-2011 07:55 PM

Very pretty!

Bobbinchick 02-22-2011 09:17 PM

Well one of my twisted log cabin books came today, except it isn't a book. It is a set of templates There are 3 styles of borders and the twisted log cabin template. They are the plastic templates like the one you use for quilting and I figured out a way to use them with out paper piecing and I have it down pat. I have 9 blocks going and they are looking so nice. I'll post a picture when I get the quilt done. Have a great evening, Huggies, Fay

suzette1954 02-23-2011 10:25 AM

Oh, I love it. the 3D effect is wonderful

Bobbinchick 02-23-2011 11:04 AM

Well my book the Log Cabin With a Twist came today and it has these triangles in it so now when I get the one done that I'm working on, I can pick this up and try it again. It has the full size triangle in it and I can get some of that plastic template material and try to make another template with that and see how it will go. Except I won't cut away the parts. Any way, this book has a lot of great ideas for design lay outs and such. I love it. I have about 3 more rounds to get done on the squares ones that I'm working on now so I best get back to it. I'm glad I did not do any thing with the triangles that I already made. Huggies, Fay

WOW oh wow, wonderful!

fireworkslover 02-24-2011 07:26 AM

I can't imagine making this and not have it be paper pieced! I really like this look also and this is in the line-up of patterns to make.

Homemother 02-25-2011 04:37 PM

WOW!!! It's like working with Fibonacci numbers!!! We drew lots of designs using the calculations and I never once thought of the idea of making a quilt!!! You have to show it to some math gurus. BUT....don't let them measure anything. They are to enjoy it with their eyes. It's beautiful!
