You did an awesome job! Love the colors and the fabric choice. I see many more quilts in your future! Congratulations!

Gorgeous quilt. Please keep us posted so we can see when this is done. Stunning!

Looks amazing. Good job! :thumbup:

The pattern that everyone is looking at here is called "Elegance" from Quilting Moments, and the pattern is shown in the exact color/fabric that I'm using. The class I took was called 'stack and whack", so if this is a 4 patch posey....I don't know! Again, I'm new to quilting so I only go by what I've been told by the instructor. The pattern listed above by HD-designs is not what I used. Just trying to straighten out some confusion.
Thanks again

I think it looks great!

I have the book, but have not had the nerve to try this technique. Yours is beautiful, I probably should take a class too!

I haven't done a stack and whack so this is a dumb question. How do yu get such beautiful squares (flowers) out of them they look like a fussy cut

very pretty

Beautiful quilt!

Beautiful :thumbup: :thumbup:

Beautiful!!
I don't understand the "whack-n-stack" but then I'm new to quilting too.

Cindy,

A stack n whack is where you stack (in this case 4 layers of fabric, but you can do 6 or 8 layers) and line the material up on the repeat of the fabric design, then you cut as directed in your pattern (in this case the pattern if Four Patch Poesy (4 layers) but there is also a book called Stack n Whack that give the 6 and 8 layer method). In some cases you can use some butt ugly fabric and come up with some beautiful blocks. The key is to have variation in the design first and/or color. Ok, is that all clear as mud? Hope it helps.

I used to live in Central NY. I knew a guy in Ogdensburg named Mark Sperling, do you happen to know him?

I know of the Bun Sperling family, they used to own a furniture store here in town. It went out of business years ago. The name Mark doesn't ring a bell with me but he very well could have been a son of theirs.

superb

Very, very nice. I haven't gotten up the courage to try one of these quilts yet.

WOW!!!!
