Beautiful, i know you brother will stay warm with this one, love the colors

Beautiful quilt, it will bring him much comfort and warmth. Good luck to him.

Thank you all for the lovely compliments and prayers for my brother.

Bataplai, I didn't buy a pattern. I have one of those block-a-day calendars and I searched through it looking for a block that was relatively simple. The main block is called Tic Tac Toe Variation. I then looked for a block that was a bit more intricate to give the quilt some interest. I chose Blackford's Beauty which I then modified in EQ7. I used EQ7 to design the layout and give me the fabric requirements. It also gave me the templates for the set-in triangles which was terrific. I think I can honestly say that I love EQ7!

Here are a couple more pictures of my quilt inspector (Caeli) who really thought I was making it for her!

Hugs and prayers for your brother! I love your choice of colors and the quilt is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely stunning quilt.

Prayers to your DB and will be cheered when he receives your beautiful quilt! Great job on your beautiful quilt and your little furry helper is adorable!

I love the colors! Beautiful work!

Lovely quilt -- the colour combinations are really striking. It is a cheerful, happy quilt. Did you hand or machine sew? Plus you helper looks very much like mine, except with a bit more black on her face.

Thank you, Belfrybat. This was done on the machine. If I had tried hand-quilting I would probably be at it for several years to come! I have tendonitis in my wrists, so hand-quilting isn't something I do much.

Very nice quilt,Hope your feels better.

What a beautiful quilter you are. Wish I could get my blocks so straight. Your brother will enjoy this quilt and all the warm love that comes with it.

Your quilt is spectacular. I hope it brings your brother as much comfort as looking at it brings me WOW!

Couldn't agree more. Wow!

Your helper is beautiful! Quilt is really pretty and love the colors.

Shows it was made with a lot of love and what a beautiful cat.

I love your quilt! It's so gorgeous!

It's beautiful....and please let your brother know that there are people out here that are wishing him the very very best and a return to good health !!!

Your quilt is beautiful. I'm sure your brother will feel better wrapped in a quilt you made. Your little helper is a cutie!

Your quilt is just AWESOME!!!! Love the colors. Great job.
