    I just absolutely love this. I have wanted to do something in black and white (and a little red) and have been (desperately!) searching for inspiration for my next quilt/pattern. This just may be it. Wonderful!

    The pattern is called Thinking Outside the Block, designed by Chloe Anderson of Toadusew (toadusew.com). You can buy the pattern or the full kit with material. I reverse engineered it because it is a variant on the Log Cabin style and I found it easy to modify to what I wanted.It is not difficult (a bit picky when you line up the blocks). I love the black and white but if anyone has done this in other colors, could you post? I want to do another one!!!!

    You said.....

    but I really want people to see it and hopefully be inspired to keep the craft alive.

    Well we've all seen it and by the number of us who have orderd the pattern, we're certainly inspired by your quilt. Mission (partly) accomplished no matter what else happens. It would be a surprise to see it in 3rd place, can't imagine anything topping it.

    The dimensional look is wonderful. I would vote for it.

    I love this pattern--still haven't figured out how one pieces this. Good luck at the fair!

    Thanks - its a Log Cabin pattern variant so everything gets sewn at right angles to the little blue block...then the blocks are pieced together.
