So what is on the design wall?



Yep.  I started another quilt.  I see some squares that I need to move around.  That is the benefit of taking a picture!  This is from Camille Rosekelly's book, Simplify.  I made a version of this quilt last year for my aunt.  I saw it again on Christmas Day and then Husband saw it.  He made a comment about how I seemed to have been making a lot of quilts with squares and maybe I wanted to do something interesting next... like this one.  Little did he know that this quilt is made with squares.  Lots of them.  He he he!

The moral of this story is that this is a very simple quilt.  Easy to whip up.  Doesn't look like squares.  Fun quilt.  Just needs sewing together and some borders and we can call it a top.  I am ahead of the game for upcoming birthday presents.  I even used some of my Madrona Road text fabric.  Eep!

Linking up with Judy's Design Wall Monday.

  6. I have made the same quilt, finished binding it tonight actually! I got my pattern from the Moda Bakeshop, written by The Tulip Patch, but it's exactly the same. My thoughts are how can designers call spatterns based on essentially the same quilt blocks their own, that end up looking the same as another persons design? I have every faith they come up with the ideas themselves, just that it has been done before, probably 100 times. Anyway, your colours look great. I made mine out of Hometown by Sweetwater.
