While it wasn't hard it was very time consuming. The circles all had to be basted, them appliqued onto the squares. Each circle is random, some whole some half & some quartered. Some were matched and some were off set. She saw this pattern in Diane McClun & Laura Nownes book "Say It With Quilts" (page 72) I changed it quite a bit....it was square & I wanted rectangle; I set the background in diangler rows instead of straight rows; I kept the inner boder 1 color while they had it patchy....Liz picked out June's Garden as her focus fabric & I picked out the rest. I had to lay everything out to make sure everyone played nicely together.....and that was the point where hubby decided it would be a good idea to put our house on the market so everything needed to be basted into place ASAP! Then it sat in the closet for months while we cleaned, painted, etc. etc. Soooo long story short :roll: that was what was hard! LOL!!!

Beachbound I LOVE your quilt...I made a similar quilt for my son for his wedding but I like how you did the part circles...think I will have to try one like your soon, well done!

:thumbup:

Looks great :thumbup: Not into curves myself, but I would even think about it after seeing what you did

Very pretty!!! Good job!!!

I think it turned out very nice....I'm sure she will love it!

I love the colors and the pattern. Beautiful!

oh yes! I really am trying to jump outside of that box! I found my quilts were all starting to look similar. I love earth tones but have started using batiks to get away from that look too. I am now hand piecing my Farmer's Wife Quilt ...that too is different for me.

My son is coming in town next week & he'll take the quilt home to give her. Wish I could see her face....

LOVE IT!

What's the name of that pattern?

not only a beautiful quilt - but beautiful loving work !

What a great pattern. The colors are perfect for a little girl. The pattern looks like a bubbly little girls energy. She will love it.

Beautiful! I love the colors.

Such a young and fresh design, can see why she picked this. You did a great job!

Love it and it is a cool pattern

I agree, its a bit different but thats the joy of quilting. Exploreing new designs is part of the joy from quilting. You have done a great job.

I'm not really sure it has a name, lol. In the Say It With Quilts book, they call it April. Ha; that helps a lot, huh? I changed so much of it that I should call it May :lol: ...not actually a bad name since I made it for her getting her Master Degree....last May! (yeah I just finished it :oops: )

It's lovely! How good of you to quilt what she likes instead of just what you like.

This is a wonderful quilt using lots of imagination. Glad you finally like it. It is very hard to work on something when your heart isn't in it.

Great job. Nice work

Thank you all so much! I knew you would understand :)

Your persistence paid off in making a really fun-looking, modern quilt! Thumbs up - I love it!
