that is an awesome pattern.....love your color choice too :lol:

Cool quilt. Looks difficult till you make out the blocks. Still hard to keep straight!!

It makes me dizzy too - but it looks great!

Unique design! I am sure your son loves it.

WOW. I think you deserve some type of award for making that quilt and not going off the deep end. I've never seen any pattern like it. Great job, but did you get dizzy making it? Your son will love it, of course.

Its awesome. Love the colors. I'm sure he will love it. Congrats

The pattern was from a book called "Friendship Quilts" and was much smaller with the light colored areas being used for friends signatures. I just enlarged and created my own design. Lots of fun!

I did the same quilt for my niece's wedding. It is actually very easy, and you can lay out the blocks anyway you want.

By the way, I really like the colours you chose. The colours I used were her favourite (yellow) and his (blue). I wish I had a pic of the back, as that is what I had everyone practise on before signing the blocks. They drew pictures and wrote out poems, etc.

Clever and interesting pattern
