Here are a few detailed pix of my avatar quilt that somebody has asked for. It's one of my most favorites so I love sharing it.
This is a Stack and Whack method. I have no idea where the orig. pattern came from. I've had the pattern for yrs. You can see how every medallion done this way comes out different. That's the fun of it is to see the surprise you get. The border is a paper pieced idea I incorporated into a border. I always try to get a lot of the orig. fabric into a quilt in order to see where the medallions came from. This is one quilt that I made just for ME. I love it.

Very Very Pretty.

Gorgeous! I love the colors and the way the blocks come out different.

Thanks for posting! I love the quilt and especially the original fabric! I think I would have had a hard time cutting into such a beautiful print!

Beautiful quilt. I would have kept it for myself to.

Yes, it was very hard. It is gorgeous fabric that I got from eQuilters.
As opposed to the One Block Wonders, this take 12 repeats so it takes a lot of fabric. I always fussy cut to get the best images so that takes more fabric. I usually buy 6 yds. of fabric so I can be sure to have enough for the border.
I can't remember the name of the dark purple fabric but I ran out after deciding to use it in the border. I went back to my LQS & they were out. They reordered it 3 times & it didn't come in so I had to be creative. I ck'd Ebay. I found some in FQs but that wouldn't work. I wrote the seller to see if he had yardage. He did so that solved that prob. I was going crazy wondering what the heck I was going to do if I couldn't find enough to finish the border.

I'm not a big fan of purple but that quilt has changed my mind! Gorgeous!

Thank you so much. That is a huge compliment. I think it all depends on how purple is used.

Beautiful, I can see where you would keep it for yourself. I might have too. :) Thanks for sharing

Very pretty :-P

Awsome quilt, I just love it!!!
Looks too hard for me.
You said it was made for you, well YOU are one loved lady. To get a quilt like this given to you. If you made it for yourself, Good for you. I love the colors and the pattern, as I said it is just awsome.
Happy quilting.
:thumbup:

I made this quilt myself. It isn't as difficult as it looks. Really pretty simple.

It sure is pretty.

WOW!! I love it.

breathtaking!

Beautiful.

Gorgeous, I love the colors you chose, you did a great job.

beautiful love the colors great job

Fantastic, Do you know the name of the pattern? :thumbup:

I've never heard of a name other than Stack & Whack. I always assumed that was a "method" though. I have heard some call it Multiple Madness but I thought that meant the blades weren't set up with repeats. Just random. Then the medallions wouldn't be pretty (to me). Just scrappy. There is a S&W book in LQSs that you might look at.

It's a Beauty!

Love-Love it

Thank you I'll check out the LQ
Gloria :-D

Brilliantly stunning!!!

Beautiful!! I have some of that focus fabric, just havn't decided how to use it yet!

Beautiful! :thumbup: :-D :thumbup:

Thank you all so very much for liking my quilt. I have it laying across the back of the couch so I can look at it all the time.

Pat

Indeed, a beautiful treasure!!

Lovely!

Stunning!! I love the fabrics and the blocks are awesome :D:D:D

Oooooh....it's beautiful and my favorite color....any shade of purple!!!! :) I signed up to do a Stack and Whack class and am looking for just the right fabric as it will be for me too!! Enjoy...it's beautiful!!!!

I went back to look at my pictures again & was shocked to see how that sashing in the middle pix looks. Thankfully I don't do work that sloppy. It's just the way the quilt fell when I pulled that corner down from the back of the couch to show as many blocks as poss. I don't know if anybody else caught that but I sure did.

Oh my, what a gorgeous quilt.
