This is from Pam's "Big Book of Quick Rotary Cut Quilts". I love this pattern!!! It has over 2000 pieces and the smallest is 1x1 that results in a 1/2x1/2 square.
The Amish were selling it for about $850.

It has been discontinued, I can understand why :lol: , there is no way I would make this quilt for that price!!!!
While it is really an relatively easy pattern, it is one that I have pressed a lot AND used a lot of starch. It is labor and thread intensive!!!!
I am half way thru, whew!!! I am a hand quilter and with all of these seams there is no way in the world I would hand quilt this!!!
I also think this may turn out to be a heavier quilt with all of the seams.
The next one will be red, black, and white. IMO, Pam Bono is extremely talented!

I really like Pam Bono patterns but you have to REALLY pay attention. The results are so worth it.

One thing, and I am hesitant to mention but in your picture on the right hand side 2nd block from the bottom, is it supposed to be that way? Looks like a grouping got accidently turned 1/4 turn counterclockwise. I am not being the quilt police! Honest. I know I have made mistakes like that and never even noticed until I got the darn thing all the way put together.

BTW this is turning out great. it will be a beautiful quilt when completed

I'm not the quilt police either, but I see the block that got turned a quarter turn. It's on the outside edge, so it will be easy to fix.

I absolutely love Pam Bono's designs - she has the coolest stuff! I'm pretty sure I have that particular book also. Is it the one with black and white cats on the front?

It is simply gorgeous!

Great job - will look wonderful when completed.

Mamagus 01-05-2011 12:53 PM

Beautiful! What is the name of this quilt pattern? I have a book by Pam Bono and I think it might be in that one too. I noticed when I selected the "Look inside this book" feature at Amaazon.com that several of the quilts pictured are in the book I have. Maybe this one is too?

That is coming along so nicely - it sure is going to be pretty when you are done!

Really nice. Glad you changed the boo-boo. Would have taken away from the quilt design if you had left it.
