Were you missing any pieces? lol ! Looks terrific. Love the colorations.

Where did you find the pattern? Looks interesting to make.

Did you have to use a design wall to keep all of this straight as you went along? Or was the picture what you worked from? This looks like it could be confusing fast for me.

WOW- ok now I want one- adding it to the list lol- you did a great job it's very pretty

Beautiful! Love this pattern, I have made it twice :)

Carrie

Wow, I really like this!! Great way to use up scraps too!

Thank you everyone for the nice comments. This is a pattern I've always wanted to try so now it is crossed off my 'still-very-long' list.


Thank you Lucy for posting the links. I looked at all of those links. The free applique pattern wasn't to my liking because I didn't want to do the applique...I have too much other stuff to do right now.

Yes Red, I did use a design wall plus the pics and it still got confusing. I figured things out as I went along, so no written pattern, just learn-as-you-go. The layout was the 'puzzling' part.

Let's see if I can get this right. I did an 8x8" finished block. For each block....... I cut 2, 2 1/2 x 8 1/2" pieces and 1, 2 1/2 x 4 1/2" piece from one color and 2, 2 1/2 x 2 1/2" pieces from a second color. I used about 26 different colors, cutting enough of each color to make 2 blocks.( except for black, where I cut enough to make extra blocks and to accommodate the black edge pieces). I had 2 1/2" squares left over and added some extra ones to do the scrappy border. Hope I got that correct....I'm not good at explaining directions.

So a 'fun to do' quilt but a lot of 'figuring-out' on the way!!

ranger

Great job!!

What another great way to use up some scraps. I have some left from baby quilts, ohhhhhh, I see another project coming up!

Thanks for the measurements ranger. I'm going to have to try this. I make baby quilts for charity and this would be so cute!

the pay one is different than yours and not nearly as pretty. the shape of the pieces is very odd, imo.

I think when I do mine, I'm going to make the whole thing square based... seems like it will be less to keep track of... do you think it will alter the finished product too much???

WOW! This is one fabulous quilt! I am going to have to look up the puzzle pattern. Was it hard to do?

Hey ranger,

Could you double check the piece sizes? I think something might be off, since with your layout, I *think* your strip sizes would give a block 6.5 x 8.5 unfinished. I might be off.

I did a mock up in Excel. The yellow block is with your listed sizes. The green one is the *I think* correct way to get an 8x8 block. Each square is 1" and the darker black line represents the block.
