This is the project I have been working on. My grandson's name is Jacob so I decided to try a Jacob's Ladder quilt.

I can not wait to see this one finished. I have always thought this block to be blah for me but seeing it how you have it going I am liking it. Might just have to make one. Very nice.

I love the Jacob's Ladder block! Yours are beautiful.

Those are great. I've always liked that pattern. :-D :-D :-D

cande 01-18-2010 03:01 PM

That is going to be really pretty and you picked good fabric for it. Jacob should be thrilled!

MadQuilter 01-18-2010 03:05 PM

Jakob's ladder is one of my favorite patterns. I usually do mine in scrappy but the two-color option is beautiful.

julia58 01-18-2010 03:32 PM

How pretty this is going to be, please keep us posted

Jim's Gem 01-18-2010 06:05 PM

I really like how this is coming together. Can't wait to see the full meal deal.

sdparent 01-19-2010 09:59 AM

Thank you, I wish I had enough of the fabric to do the borders in to but don't so I'll have to improvise.

barnbum 01-19-2010 03:37 PM

Those look fabulous together!!! What a precise job you're doing. It looks like a fun block!!

youme 01-19-2010 04:14 PM

Wow, gorgeous! Is this the one made out of the four patches you were telling me about in the chat room?? yes, they can not be scrappy!!LOL

sdparent 01-19-2010 04:22 PM

Yes this is the one we talked about in chat. No it's not a scrappy just 2 different fabrics. I think it has come out ok so far can't wait to see it finished, there's still plenty of time for me to screw it up, LOL.

It is turning out very pretty. I guess you just have to play it buy ear to figure out the yardage on these blocks because it really doesnt tell you how big it is going to be, Just that the pattern is a 12 in block.

So amazing! I have also made Jacob's Ladder, but used more colors. Looking at yours and then mine different as night and day. That is what is so marvelous about quilting. We can all do the same pattern, but use different fabrics and they look sooo different.

just to give you an idea, here is the one I made for my DGD in '04

Purple, salmon (they don't picture those colors well) two shades of mint green and white on white

Wow they are very different! Yours is beautiful.

The pattern of the blocks alone comes out to 4'X4' and took about 1.5 yds of each material. Now on to the borders.

That is beautiful. What a great pattern. Great job so far.

Deecee 01-20-2010 11:04 PM

sd - looking foward to seeing pics of quilt with borders on.

I especially like the way you have used the colour placement in the blocks. It gives it a different look to how I have used the block in the past.

Ninnie 01-21-2010 01:24 AM

Love it, and be sure to post finished pictures

earthwalker 01-21-2010 01:27 AM

Really beautiful design...and so interesting, each individual coming up with a totally different look. Can't wait to see the end result.

CindyBee 01-21-2010 01:39 AM

Love your color combo and can't wait to see the finished quilt! I'm working one also, but using a scrappy palette. Also used the same pattern from QC.
