I call this "No Passport Required." It is a Trip Around the World pattern on point and is made with fabrics representing places all over the globe. It is a big one--112" x 122"--quilted on my DSM. The squares in this quilt finished at 2.5".

It was a gift for my daughter who can now travel around the world without even leaving her bed. :)

Wow, that's a special 'trip'!... a very nice idea.

Beautiful quilt, and to find out you quilted it on your DSM.

I used Square Dance by Sandra Boyce of Everyday Quilts for counts to cut squares of so many different fabrics, but it is a traditional Trip Around the World (except that I set it on-point), so there should be instructions out there.

I love Big quilts and this is one of them! Your daughter should love traveling every night with this one. Beautiful, well done.

I have since learned that this layout is also called Boston Commons. I wish I'd known that when I was trying to figure it out!

Thanks, everyone, for the kind words.
