I love poppies and this pattern is lovely. Your polka dot fabric is a great complement to the poppy print. I didn't notice the cut up "ugly" center flowers until you mentioned it. I was taken by the overall beauty. But I can see how it would bother you up close enough to fussy cut-- and I do think you're improving it with that extra bit o' work. Can't wait to see it finished!

I've always wanted to do a lattice quilt, your fabric choices are great, it will be a stunner, thanks for the quick tutorial

I was able to find Celtic twist pattern but not Celtic squares pattern on Mc Calls web site.

Magazine is available on Amazon! $2.00! I didn't think "ube quilting"s pictures looked like Celtic Squares but I don't know what the magazine has named it, I will order it and hope. Really like this pattern as shown here!

The pattern is from Quilters Newsletter Magazine (QNM), May, 1989/ #212, pg 30. Yes, I also collect old quilting magazines and am glad I do! The original pattern is by Nancy Dudley of Silverton, Oregon. Her title is Celtic Squares. This pattern is old enough to be written for templates and not more modern methods of assembly. After I converted the pattern to paper peicing it is so easy to put together. It uses the partial seam method of assembly and I love the way it is coming together. Hope you like it too.Mine is titled: Oh, Poppycock [ATTACH=CONFIG]531183[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]531184[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]531185[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]531186[/ATTACH] When I put the first four blocks together, I noticed the poppies in the center were cut up and look ugly, (upper left four blocks in the above picture). I made sure as I cut the rest of the corner blocks they were cut to avoid this. It did mean doing some fussy cutting and it worked well, imho. This is just the beginning. There will be a total of 30 blocks and a few borders. Thanks for looking. peace |
Like the pattern and the fabrics you are using. That is going to be a beautiful quilt.

@Kitsie: I checked and that is the right issue so for $2. you can't go wrong. I copied the page as is with no alteration in size. Just remember that the Pattern "A" which is the center has to have the seam allowance added so
it will be cut at 4 3/4" sq. I would love to see other interlocking patterned quilts right here. Lets see them, everyone. peace |
I love it! Its a neat pattern. Love your fabric choices!
