My quiltin' cousin, Sue, made this wonderful quilt for her son!
The pattern is "You Are My Sunshine" from the booklet, Slice of Home by Creekside Stitches. It's a layer cake friendly pattern, or you can cut from stash like Sue did. Here's a close-up:
I quilted it with "Verve". For backing Sue used a very dark, extra-wide purple Grunge:
Great job, Sue!!! Perfect for a man-sized bed!
Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

ReplyDeleteThat's the same block I used for my mystery, only I didn't know it had been made into a pattern. Judy Hopkins calls the block "Hopkins Square." It is SO versatile!
ReplyDeleteTrying again! Forgot to click the "Notify me" box!?!

ReplyDeleteOh wow! That quilt is a stunner! I am always impressed by how quilting enhances the quilt top and magically converts it into a lovely quilt! Take good care!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, and you did a wonderful quilting!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I thought for a minute it was one of the mystery quilts I've been seeing that were made with a very similar block. So much interesting movement with those diagonal lines, and I love Sue's color choices :)
ReplyDeleteYou do such a great job with those panto's Nancy! It looks wonderful, and I love the design of the quilt and the fabrics Sue used. It's a perfectly manly quilt! :) Thanks for sharing it on Main Crush Monday!
ReplyDeleteLovely result. It looks so complex but I see the block is much easier than I thought. Great selection of fabrics and a great quilt.
