here is the quilt I made for my father-- the colors are bright, I know, but I liked working with them. I finished it last year, just got home last month and thought to take photos of it.

I bet he was thrilled!!! Its very pretty! You did a great job! I made that same pattern in red & blue, love the stars in it. I will probably do another one beacause the first one is about worn out already!!!

I had seen a photo of this quilt years ago, and couldn't find any directions, so I drafted the pattern myself. Lots of trial and error to make those green diamonds.

I have a book with the pattern in it and it has templates for the trapazoid and the diamonds. I bet that was a bugger to draft. The pattern went together really well. So if you ever want to do another, holler and I will let you borrow my pattern.

Lucky Dad!

Thanks, too bad your offer wasn't available when I did it, but drafting the pattern was good for me to do.

This is a very beautiful quilt. Very lively. Looks like hand quilting, am I right? Also I love the color combination.

sewjoyce 06-21-2009 05:46 PM

Beautiful quilt!! I like all the bright colors and the hand quilting really sets it off! You did a great job!
