These are gorgeous and it's tempting to buy the pattern and templates, but I've come to the conclusion recently that I have so many patterns I want to make that I won't live long enough to get them all done. I'm cutting myself off!

Wow, the quilts and wall hanging are fantastic. I love the black and white tumbling blocks. Your three shades of the same color are really causing an illusion. Great job.

These are awesome! Great colors.

ccthomas 08-19-2010 04:46 PM

Thanks for sharing your quilt. Someone asked in an earlier post about a quilt pattern that a male would like. This is one that certainly fits this need. I think it would be wonderful in a art center.

The link to Comb's site is really worthwhile to visit.

Karen Combs has fabrics for sale with four shades of one color running the length of the fabric.

these are great!
