    This is my puzzle quilt top. I had started it a little over a year ago when it seemed like everyone was doing a puzzle quilt. I couldn't find a pattern, especially not one with end pieces, so I designed my own in Excel (sheet attached). At the time, I didn't have the $ to afford the border fabric, so it was put on hold. Well, full time over-minimum wage job later, I bought the fabric and finished the top. The border fabric color was inspired by my floor, since I loved how the quilt looked on the wood. I appliqued the blue piece onto the border. It was my 2nd applique piece and overall I'm really happy with it. Now to quilt it!

    Attached are 2 pictures of the quilt, the Excel sheet where each square = 1" finished, and a JPEG picture for anyone who can't DL the Excel sheet.

    More true to color close up

    Wow, that is amazing! At first, I thought you had set one piece aside to show us. I wondered how you were going to get that piece back in the quilt! LOL Then I realized it was part of the quilt design. I love it. I'd love to do one too.

    Very pretty quilt. I have not seen a puzzle quilt before. May have to give that one a try sometime. Thanks for sharing.
