I walked into my LQS on Friday and saw a beautiful BQ Quilt hanging from the ceiling. It was made up in Paula Nadelstern Fabrics. Some of the fabrics were out of stock, due to sample. But they did have a nice blue and purple subtitute, which happens to be my favorite colors.

So, I spent some time this weekend cutting and presewing for a quilt retreat in three weeks. I like to cut my projects before retreat. There are less mistakes and I don't run out of fabric.

Oh I love the BQ patterns and I love the Paula Nadelstern fabrics too!
I bet it will be gorgeous!

Very Beautiful!!! :mrgreen: :thumbup:

Very nice. I love the fabric.

I love the colors, can't wait to see the quilt.

What is BQ?

Wow, that is going to be pretty.

I was wondering the same thing.

Just ordered the Nuance fabric this last week. I love it! Never thought of using it in a BQ Quilt.... GOOD IDEA! It will be wonderful!

Look at the top right-hand corner of the first picture. The pattern is called BQ by Maple Island Quilts.

that is going to be beautiful. I have some bright oranges and yellows to do one.. on my someday list.

but what does BQ stand for apart from ofcourse beautiful quilt! :lol:

Your block is going to be beautiful.
I love that medallion fabric. I have some of it in the orange and the blue. I used the orange for the quilt in my avatar.

Big quilt??

Wow! I can't wait to see the finished project.

Thanks for getting me inspired. I love this pattern. Made one from batiks and working on a small block version with Xmas fabrics.

beautiful!

I can't wait to see the finished Quilt! These are gorgeous colored fabrics!

The original pattern shows 18" blocks, but my blocks will finish 16". My LQS had changed the pattern to fit the Paula Nadelstern focus fabric. The largest cut had to be 10 1/2".
I am using 12 blocks, 3 across and 4 down, with a 2", 1" & 7" border. It should be around 68" x 84", which is twin bed size. (My 7" border was determined by the Paula Nadelstern fabric, also.)
The pattern shows sizes from baby (4 blocks) and up.

WOW....Those are beautiful fabrics. I can't wait to see it completed.

Nice purple. Love ur fabric

WOW!!! I love those fabrics, this is going to be stunning :D:D:D

Great fabric

I was white headed as a child. I just realized that you were guessing what BQ stands for and not asking about the size of the quilt. :oops: Even at my age, I still have those blond moments. 8-)

Oh, you are making one of my favorite patterns. The colors are just gorgeous, and the main fabric is just great.

That is going to be beautiful. Keep us posted on your progress.

Can't wait to see it done.

Helen, Have you finished your quilt? I would love to see it.

some really nice blocks

Can't wait to see it done. Love the colors.
