Here is the quilt I made for our department's Christmas Party. It was the Grand Prize door prize. This is the 2nd year that my boss has paid me to make a quilt to give away. The first one was the Batik Beauty I posted last year. I like them both, but prefer the the first one.

However, this one made up quite fast. It was a pattern in one of the quilt magazines. If you want to know the pattern, I'll look it up.

This is beautiful. I love the colors. Please post the name of the pattern.

Beautiful quilt. No wonder your boss asks you to make them.
Thanks for sharing.

Oh that is a beautiful quilt. I would very much like to know where I might find the pattern. I would love to do something like this.

It's beautiful. I'd like the pattern name if it's not a too hard. My next quilt will be auctioned at a Cystic Fibrosis dinner dance. I'd like to do it in batiks. The art teacher who asked for it suggested neutrals, but that's not me. Unusual for an art teacher.

pjustice63 01-04-2011 03:57 PM

I think it is a pattern called "It's Square to be Square" and was in a magazine a few months ago. Can't remember which one.

Jim's Gem 01-04-2011 06:21 PM

Beautiful quilt!

hperttula123 01-04-2011 06:44 PM

They are both beautiful!!!

sewwhat85 01-04-2011 07:29 PM

very pretty

jljack 01-04-2011 09:54 PM

So....the pattern is Squares in the Air, Page 60 in the Oct/Nov 2010 QUILT magazine. That particular issue has several really neat fall patterns in it. If you can find it, it's absolutely a keeper!! And, NO, I will not be selling mine!! :-)

lpsewing 01-04-2011 10:40 PM

Awesome job !
You deserve 1st place !!!

BizzieLizzie 01-05-2011 12:18 AM

What a beauty! I would love to be at your department party and win it! It is gorgeous! :D
