40378The graphic design of this quilt really kept me intrigued with it for quite a while. I can see where having a system to keep track of it all is a "must do" to get such a brilliant creation! Love it!

Iām glad you like it. Itās finished except for the binding. Iām anxious to see how the quilter quilted it. I am supposed to get it Thursday if my back is better to go pick it up.

Thank you Brenda. I say go for it! If you can read a graph the rest is easy, not as hard as you might think. Did you look below? I added a border.

Thank you Anita. Some people are good to come up with these patterns and thank goodness, if I can't figure it out by looking at the picture, I can still read and follow a pattern. Did you see the pictures I added below? I put the border on after getting enough of the dark blue fabric, so now I have made two of these quilts, but just alike.

You would find it hard to believe if I told you 4 days, so Iām not saying-lol Thanks
My group was speechless to see I made 5 (60x80) quilt tops since our last meeting. We meet every 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month. Our last meeting was June 23 and we met July 14, so a 3 week span.
1832Here were my 5 strips sets I made, but I only used 4 for each quilt top. Twenty different color strips arranged the same order in each set.
First one with border added
Second one on top queen bed

109038Beautiful. It reminds me of a flag waving in the wind. The placement is perfect. I have been wanting to make a similar quilt, at this time I am chicken.

I just finished a second one yesterday. I had to make it exactly like this one because I had already made one strip set. The pattern said to make 5 (20 strips) sets. It only took 4 so instead of ripping out or wasting, I made 3 more sets for a second one. Once you learn the process and reading the graphs, itās really very easy. Donāt be scared. I was mostly concerned with color placement because I wasnāt sure how they would fall in the design. Each set has to be in the same order as the first before you start cutting again.

I wasnāt sure at all about placement so I guess I just lucked up, because I was amazed myself-lol thanks
18071Beautiful!!Your red, white and blue is perfect for a QOV. You should try an all blue, I did one with blue batiks because I wanted a quilt that looks like Lake Michigan. They are amazing to see the design emerging, aren't they?

I do and I just wish I had the blues! The fabric blues, not the blues-lol- you know what I mean. Thanks, Iām glad you like it.
111087Hi Carolyn, ooh! this is absolutely stunning. I'd love to keep this one, but I know your passion for the QOV's and I bet there will be lots of broken hearts when there is more than one veteran who might want this. Stunning work, once again. Love Chri

Hi Chris, I am assuming youāre speaking to me, Toogie. Lol- My leader said as much too, how could I give away? I know I can always make another if I do desire. I like the challenge of trying something different. Thanks for looking, commenting. I hope you are getting the help with your mum, you so desperately need. ā¤ļøToogie

Great to see you comment! Iām glad you like it but had to laugh when you thought it was crochet. I have seen crochet thinking it was quilting so we are even. You can now laugh at meš Thanks for looking
