Beautiful!

Is there a technique in how the 4 squares are joined to the black center?? I can't figure this block out.

Reminds me us sherbet in the summertime! The quilting is really beautiful! She's going to love it!

It is so pretty.I bet there are teardrops all over it!! I hate an empty nest!! Great job and so nice to have a mom that is so thoughtful.

WOW - I really love the colors! Nice job!! :)

The quilt store choose all of the fabrics and then you got a bag of them each month, I had to make 12 blocks each month out of the fabric, so in Jan I made 12 of block A and then in Feb I made 12 of block B, in March I made 12 of block C and then in April I made 12 of block D. Then I joined one of each of those A-D blocks to the black center square to make 12 large blocks, the original pattern called for you just joining the 12 large blocks together and it would have been a lap quilt but I wanted it for my daughters bed so I made it bigger with the black sashing strips which I cut 4" wide.

Hi -

Just love this quilt! I'm going to pull out all my "brights" and try a baby-sized one myself! I like the quilting pattern and variegated thread too! LOL, it reminds me of what the display case of a busy ice cream shop looks like after a long, hot day! Perfectly delish!!

Would you please consider making another block and posting pictures of how you sew them back together with the black square? It looks like you may have used the partial seam technique, like this example I found online:

Very nice, so colorful.

Hi , I finally figured it out. The 4 log cabin blocks that surround the black square are rectangular in shape (leave 1 strip off one side to get this shape). The black center is a square the size of the width of the strip . Then you join them using the technique LindaG has listed in the previous reply. Math is a wonderful thing if you can apply the numbers to the formulas. Cutting out paper squares and strips and then cutting them out repeatedly also helps!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Anne

Very nice :thumbup:
