I just finished a quilt I decided to use for my avatar. I was surprised how well aqua and lavender go together, and I really like my new quilt.

Thanks, but I don't know what the pattern is called. I saw a picture of a quilt like this one and worked it out on graph paper.

Wow, this is so precise and without a pattern? I'm impressed by your skills. Kudos to you!

Will you post a bigger picture of it? It is a very nice looking quilt from what I can see.

Sorry for the delay. I tried to upload a bigger picture last night, but all my tries failed. Seems it likes only the pictures I take with my Kodak camera. (Go figure.) I saw a picture of this quilt in one of the catalogs I get, but I can't find it now. It's really a fairly simple pattern. One block has the purple center square with the aqua and green corners. The other is a star block. I used the Tri-Recs tools to make the star points, and the corners are just 4 patches. To figure out how to the square in square centers of the stars, I used the "stitch & flip" method from Quiltmaker, using 2 1/2" green squares on the corners of a 4 1/2" purple square. The original quilt was set on-point, but I opted to make it a straight set with no borders. I measures about 48" X 60". Just the right size for me for watching TV in my recliner.

This is just stunning and the colors are lovely. Very clever of you to figure this out. You sure do beautiful work. BrendaK

Thank you all for the very kind responses. I think the colors make my work look good! LOL

That it just beautiful! Do you have a closeup of the quilting?

DeneK 02-02-2015 09:23 AM

Gorgeous quilt!

SittingPretty 02-02-2015 11:42 AM

I found It! The quilt is called "Celestial Magic", by Jan Douglas. I saw it in the Autumn 2014 catalog from Keepsake Quilting, kit item #3946, pattern only item #7242. It bothered me that I couldn't give due credit to the designer. I fell in love with the pattern when I saw it. Probably because of the colors.

Here's a close-up of the quilting, hope you can see them OK. I did them with my embroidery machine with designs from Embroidery Library called "Feather Quilting Designs." It was fun and not at all hard to do.
