Here is my third "round" quilt, but this one has squared corners. I don't think I am entirely happy with how the corners came out, but overall I think it came out fine. It was for the raffle at our car club's car show yesterday.

Thanks, all!!! We usually raise about $13,000 at the car show.

BTW, that's my DH's Card Trick block on the wall. He's making a quilt for our new grandbaby coming in July!! Isn't he sweet?

Well, I think it is gorgeous and just wish I had been there to buy raffle tickets or whatever.

Did you design it yourself?

nwm50 06-07-2010 09:09 AM

beautiful !!! Nothing wrong with them corners!! Car club? Have an antigue car? Im currently restoring an 1972 Buick GS (not by myself)

Looks very nice. :thumbup:

ooops...spelt antique cars wrong...to jljack

fliedermaus 06-07-2010 09:35 AM

I really love the textured look of the fabrics. So much movement in the quilt- in a good way. This is fabulous.

We have a '62 T-Bird, a "Survivor" (all original except for safety equipment & new carb). We don't want to touch it for a while. It's got a few dings, but overall looks great! We also have a '57 Suburban, which is still a basket.

Also, yes, I did design this quilt myself. I bought the large 10 Degree wedge ruler and the extension to do squared corners. Then I started sewing the strip sets. One thing I found out is that there is a TON of fabric waste with this pattern. YUCK!! But I saved all the scraps, and maybe can do something with them.

nwm50 06-07-2010 09:50 AM

jljack......most gorgeous quilt ever! Never seen this pattern before, Thanks for the info on car ...the t-bird you have is kinda rare. Enjoy

pab58 06-07-2010 10:01 AM

That is such an interesting design. Great job! :thumbup:

Love the cornered finish - so bright and cheerful and looks like a full skirt laid out on the floor - rather Mexican hat looking!!!
