one of my favorite patterns and your fabric choice was perfect. I'm sure he will be very thankful for the gift.

A perfect choice and so attractive.Love the fabrics!!

You did a great job! Im sure he will love it. Thank you for sharing.

I think it is perfect --- The print reminds me of Mexican pottery
I'd like to know how to find the pattern & instructions.

I'd say you did a perfect match of the fabric, pattern and their specialty subject of study!

Do you have a piece of the original fabric to show us?
Please?

Here is a tutorial on the process for the blocks. I cut my pieces 4.5 inches

The layout was mine, no pattern, but it is just as follows:
Each block is surrounded by 1 inch borders, cut 1.5 inches
Sashings and cornerstones are cut 2.5 inches to finish 2 inches and the two outer borders are also cut 2.5 inches to finish 2 inches.

Sure, here you go...

Thanks!
It's always nice to see the original fabric ... and how it takes on a new life. WOW ... this one sure has! :)

Stunning quilt. Beautiful.

I think you nailed it and he will love it! What a treasure you made! Thanks for sharing, it is beautiful ~ Pat
