Where did you find the pattern

Pretty! Nice work!

The Navajo pattern was in a book along with the Trip Around the World and Sunshine & Shadows.

I don't know who authored the book. I've misplaced all my quilt book that I didn't give to my sister when I moved a year ago.

Wow!!!! That is beautiful. Wonderful colors. I love it.

That is one beautiful quilt! I just love it!! :D :D

That is one beautiful quilt! I just love it!! :D :D

That is absolutely stunning! Was the book called Tradition with a Twist? I would really love to find this pattern.

Sheila

I love it, very beautiful!

Love it! you did a beautiful job!!

I searched with google for Trip around the world quilts --navajo and found a listing for the book.
it is TRIP AROUND THE WORLD QUILTS By Blanche Young & Helen Young
I've had my book for many, many years so the book is probably out of print, but you can probably find a used one someplace.

this book has cardbord templates that you use for the stripcutting. I only made one that way and then figured out how to do it in what I thought was a simpler way.

Since I make lots of quilts using the same pattern, I ususally have to figure an easy way to strip piece.
I have probably made this pattern seven or eight times.

Oh, forgot to add this information about the book. It has all these quilts in it, which are considered trip around the world quilts.
Streak of Lightning
Sunshine and Shadow
Evening Shadows
Navajo
Many Trips Around the World
Trip Around the World

I thought it had Boston Commons in it also, but I must have had a complete book of that pattern.

This looks like it has that pattern also.

Will look for the book you suggest. Really must make one since seeing yours.

Sheila

Sheila, I can't tell if the Navajo pattern is in that book or not. The pieces are 2 1/2 by 4 1/2 if you want to chart it. I think I cut my strips 2 1/1 and sewed the strips together in panels, then sub cut intp 4 1/2 strips.
i could probably find one of my charts and post an image of it for you.

Beautiful work!

We have the Tradition with a Twist book and it has the Navajo pattern in it. We haven't tried anything out of the book, but they look easy to follow and we're looking forward to making something out of it. I think we got the book at Ed McKay's, a used bookstore in Knoxville.

Darren

Darren. what other patterns does that book have in it?

Gorgeous quilt. The color combination is so relaxing.

Barb, this is beautiful. It looks like the dust ruffle is sewn to the quilt...just an optical illusion, but an idea I'd never thought about.

It's pretty.....wonderful colors.

Never seen this pattern before in such upright formation !!! SUPER !!! I, too, am interested in knowing the pattern...

Those colors are gorgeous together. What a beautiful quilt!

It has patterns for:

Darren

First of all, I want to thank all of you for your compliments on the quilt.

Sheila Elaine, no the bed skirt was made to use, probably with the Boston Commons underneath the Navajo. However, I did add a double ruffle similar to a bed skirt to a customer's lone star once. It had already been hand quilted and bound, and something I would never do again.

Rainbow, the name of the pattern is Navajo and in the book Trip around the World Quilts and in the one mentioned my Darren, Traditions with a Twist.

Darren, thanks for the additional information about Traditions with a Twist. i saw Amazon has copy of the book. I'm going to order it as I've never heard of several patterns in it. I'm going to do searches beforehand for the Zula, Zuma and Jamaica, see if I might like to make those

Oh, BTW, C & T in C&T Publishing are Tom and Carol Hensley, relatives of mine. They came to Missouri with their children several years ago for one of our family reunion. We had never met before, she brought lots of goodies from C&T Publishing as gifts for us.

Very Pretty

How fun for you to have relatives in publishing. If they need anyone to critique quilting books I'm sure they can always count on you!

Darren

What a beautiful quilt. You picked my favorite color combinations. Gorgeous.
