I haven't had a lot of time to work on this because life has gotten in the way. I have almost got the top done but here is how far I have gotten. Had trouble getting things to line up. My seam ripper and I have became really close. thank you for looking.
Give the pic's a couple of minutes to load.

That is great! I am always surprised at how good stripes look in a quilt.

Thank you.
No it's not shirts. It was striped fabric that I was playing with trying to copy a quilt my DGM made for me that is falling apart. The design was a total accident, but I am very happy with it.

Very nice!

cjomomma 06-05-2010 07:22 PM

Thank you everyone. This quilt really has driven me a little crazy.

Kitsie 06-05-2010 07:26 PM

Awesome! Really interesting how the fabrics come alive! Beautiful job piecing them!

Very nice and manly :)

dkabasketlady 06-05-2010 07:43 PM

Carrie, your quilt is beautiful! It's hard to believe that it was an accident, a very nice one! I think the striped fabric really sets this off! I can't wait to see more!

Beautiful quilt.

raptureready 06-06-2010 04:39 AM

I love it!! It looks masculine which is a refreshing change from all the girlie quilts. Not that I don't like them too, I do, but a change once in awhile is great to see.

danmar 06-06-2010 05:24 AM

very nice

marsye 06-06-2010 05:27 AM

That looks great! :thumbup: :thumbup:

pollyjvan9 06-06-2010 05:29 AM

Love your quilt. I have been collecting blue stripped men's shirts for a quilt. Hope it turns out as good as yours.

clem55 06-06-2010 06:54 AM

really very nice!!

Luv Quilts and Cats 06-06-2010 06:56 AM

Wow, you have put a lot of work into it. It looks great!

cjomomma 06-06-2010 07:03 AM

Thank you. I'm going to add 2 and a half inch HST'S along the top and bottom and then a border all around. This is the first one done entirely from my stash. Hopefully I will have the top done my next weekend, fingers crossed.

Ditter43 06-06-2010 07:06 AM

That is turning out so great! I love it!!! The colors work really well.....great job!

DebraK 06-06-2010 08:06 AM

your ripping paid off. You did a beautiful job with the stripes.

mysacrifice 06-06-2010 08:44 AM

I love it! Love the reds and blues and plaids! Great job.

1quilt_gma 06-06-2010 09:05 AM

That was careful planning, not an accident! Take credit for it!

cjomomma 06-06-2010 09:17 AM

I'm serious when I said it was an accident.

quiltinggirl 06-06-2010 09:21 AM

AWESOME! I love the colors you used. :)

gaigai 06-06-2010 09:25 AM

Very nice!!

kygirl 06-06-2010 09:37 AM

You and your seam-ripper did an excellant job. That is so a mans' quilt. Great looking stripies and blocks.

Mrs. Mel 06-06-2010 09:39 AM

Very sharp!

annieshane 06-06-2010 09:41 AM

Great look "accident". Sure your hubby is very pleased. Sorry you had to befriend that infamous/valuable seam ripper. We all have such horror stores to tell; however, the results surely are worth all your frustrations. Great job. Love the way all the strips line up, etc.
