No Passport Required
 

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.

is there a free pattern for that anywhere? I love the way yours go around.

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.

that's what i liked, the setting being on point. lovely!

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.

Lovely quilt!

What a fantastic quilt! Your daughter is bound to love it. That's a really clever idea about using global themed fabrics.

Great quilt!

Wow - that’s wonderful!
How did you manage to quilt something so big on a DSM? I struggle with anything over 40 inches.

The quilt is stunning! I also love the around the world fabric theme. Beautiful! You did an amazing job.

Lovely Trip Around the World.

Beautiful quilt! Great choice of fabrics... Bravo for working with the ‘on point’ setting. I would have lost my mind!

Wow. I'm impressed by the sheer number of tiny squares and the fact that you quilted that king-size quilt on your DSM.

Beautiful job. Goodness, the work...

Your quilt is beautiful and so very well done. I love all the colors and fabrics. Wonderful job. You should be very proud of this beauty.

That is amazing. It almost looks as if it were crocheted. What a work of art.

Beautiful! And such a clever theme.

What a dreamy and clever travel quilt. Love your idea and the result was stunning.........almost an I spy!

Beautiful quilt. I love your use of colors and the 'fussy' patches too.

Wow, that is amazing.

Super cute and what a fun fabric choice idea

What fun! But seriously, my mind is boggled. Grats to you for achieving your vision.

Awesome. BrendaK

What a beautiful quilt with such a cute name.

Oh my, what a daring adventure. Such tenacity and a beautiful work of art. Lucky daughter!

Beautiful quilt! Stunning! But how did you baste it so that you could get it under the needle on a Domestic Sewing Machine?

Beautiful quilt. Love how you have squares that represent all parts of the world. Great workmanship and your daughter is very lucky to receive this gift.

Beautiful and being on point makes it so.

Great way to see the world. Huge amount of work. I hope your daughter sleeps well beneath this beauty.:o

I'm an Elmer's School glue baster. :)

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

very pretty, i love the different fabrics

I was thinking that Elmer's glue would be the only thing that would hold that in place. Yes, I'm an Elmer's girl, too. But when I do that on a large quilt, I usually put a few safety pins here and there, especially at the edges, so that the tugging at the quilt will not release the hold of the glue.

A beautiful quilt. Well done.

Wow! just Wow!
