I love this quilt! Is the pattern available online somewhere?

I made one and it was very easy and lots of fun. You don't have to use a jelly roll, you can cut your own 2.5" strips. It's fun to cut open those tubes and put the blocks together. Just magic!

Only suggestion I have is DO NOT use strips of any kind in you first quilt. Have fun

Why not? If it appeals to you...I say try it! No matter which pattern you choose, you will always remember your first....

I think it's a great pattern. If you feel comfortable with it, go for it! I'd love to see a picture of it when you get finsihed.

I love this blog. Just spent the last 20 minutes on there and joined. Yes this would be an ok quilt for a beginner...just be very careful with bias edges once the triangles are cut. Press with hot iron after the block is made.

Just go slow, read directions and when you get frustrated go have some chocolate and take a break from quilting. Then go back with a fresh mind, eyes and move forward. Be sure re-read directions when you take a break, maybe something will click for taking the frustration out of that quilt.

You will do fine and probably make many more quilts.

I have to tell you a story. My first quilt was Robbing Peter to Pay Paul. I did a few mistakes but got it finished. It looked like it was supposed to so I showed it to a lady at the quilt shop. BTW this was a doll quilt. The lady was shocked and asked why I did that as it was a very hard quilt and very experienced quilters did this . I told her " I guess because no one told me I couldn't do it " . SO if you want to try it , don't get advice from someone else , Just do it . Noiseynana

I have just a couple suggestions. 1) as someone said, it would be a good ideas to make a table runner or placemat to see how the pieces go together & also to see whether or not you even enjoy making this particular quilt. 2) when you press, DO not iron, as that distorts the fabric. Because this is cut on bias, there is a greater chances of that. So put your iron down on the fabric & take it off before moving. In other words, don't move the iron while it is on the fabric. (I don't know how advanced in your knowledge you are, so if you already know these suggestions, ignore them.)

Yes, this is one of my first quilts that I made, liked the way it came out - was sent to Joplin, MO after the tornados
