Seems Appropriate
 

That I finished this quilt this weekend.

The picture is only 1/4 of the quilt. Just waiting on the backing so that I can forward to Leesa to quilt for me. This is a personal "Quilt of Valor" for me. It will be going to the family that owns the house we live in in Maryland. He was just promoted to Senior Chief and they will be transferring to Jacksonville. The hope is that I can give it to them in person before they move.

The pattern is called Trail Mix and appeared in the magazine Quilts from Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks - Spring '13.

Looks complicated and required a LOT of squaring up but well worth the effort. Just READ THE DIRECTIONS and don't get ahead of yourself.

BTW - the candy cane border was making the use of mistake pieces when I was piecing the blocks. I really like how it turned out.

What a beautiful quilt and a wonderful gift for him! Great job!

I really like your "Quilt of Valor". If this is a 1/4 of the quilt, What size Blocks are you doing and how big will it be when done, with borders and binding?

Spectacular! I always like a little change of pace from the traditional ones. Love that pattern!

nicely done

Very nice, I'm sure they will love it.

Beautiful quilt! I like it that you said to pay attention to the directions - and then explained what you did with the mistake pieces.

Really like this quilt! I'm sure he will be quite pleased!

Great looking quilt!

neat quilt!!!

The individual blocks - 1/4 of the colored spiral - is 12" sq. With the borders on it, it is about 92" square. It will have a varigated blue back and the binding will be a small strip of the print.

Very nice and the border is a great addition.

Absolutely beautiful. Love the pattern and your choice of colors.

Very interesting pattern...I've never seen it before. You've done a great job. Wonderful gift!

Mistakes are opportunities waiting to happen. Very nice!
peace

beautiful and God bless you

You did an amazing job!

Beautiful quilt!

Inventive and very attractive. Good luck meeting your deadline. Really like the background fabric as well.

Really nice quilt. I like the pattern!

Great looking so far! Neat pattern.

Great job and love how the "mistakes" turned into a very nice border!!

It's a beautiful quilt, and I'm sure your friend will be touched that you made it for him. I love the border- remember there are no mistakes only "happy accidents", as sometimes a mistake takes you into a whole new direction with excellent results.

Very pretty !!

Great pattern. I really like it.

Wonderful quilt. I like the border!

Great quilt...He will love it...
