This is the main part of a quilt for the double bed in our son's guest bedroom. I made the Shoo Fly blocks oversized, then cut them down at an angle to make them 'dance'.

I'm going to do a modified quilt as you go by sandwiching and quilting this part, then doing the other parts separately and putting them together at the end.

What do you think?

I love the movement in the blocks. Looks like the blocks are wiggling back and forth.

The dance movement makes it "happy". I usually see happy quilts as bright but you really made this one do a "happy dance"!

I like it. What a clever idea to make them dance.

Shoofly is one of my favorite patterns :-) Like the colors too.
