Carol, your avatar quilt is gorgeous. The link you posted is broken. I was so intrigued I went snooping and found it here.

Everyone’s hsts are so pretty. It’s going to be so interesting to see how the quilts develop with the various colour schemes.

we have an early grandkids’ hockey game on Saturday. Judy’s clue should be up when we get back and then it’s sew time!

Thanks, Judy for your compliment. I’m looking forward to your next clue.

Sorry ladies - I just copied the info from a former post in 2011. Here is a close up my quilt. I look through my folders and find the directions. I don't have the book either, but figured it out from the pictures.

Here is what I figured out for the blocks on that over/under quilt pattern. Hmm, I can't upload the diagram.

The blocks are 6 inches finished with block A made up of 3 rows: 1 and 3 are colored 2 1/2 x 6 1/2 inch strips
and row 2 is three 2 1/2 inch blocks with the center one white.
Block B is also 3 rows: first row is 4 1/2 inch colored strip and one 2 1/2 inch HST
second row is one 2 1/2 inch colored square + 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 white strip
third row is one HST + 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 white strip

They are grouped as: B,AA,BB,AA,BB,AA,B both horizontally and vertically so it finished as 72 x72 inches plus the borders.
I hope this all makes sense.

Carol that is so pretty. Looks so hard. I'm gonna have to copy this and try it. Thanks so much.

Hi Mary, it isn't as hard to make as it is to explain. I can send you an email with the diagram if you would like or PM you.

Thank you for the directions, Carol! This pattern is one I have been wanting to try for a while. It is very pretty!

Lovely HSTs everyone! Just a beautiful variety in fabrics being shown here. Tomorrow is the next clue! I have family over tomorrow morning and then we are all heading to town for the afternoon. I won't get to sew until Sunday after Church at the earliest, but I can't wait to see what Judy has in store for us!

Awesome, I have that book!

That book is one of my "go to" books. I have made about half of the quilts in the book. Always fun, good directions and not mindbogglingly difficult. Some patterns LOOK difficult, like the one from Carol in WI, but the patterns break down to simple pieces nestled together to make interesting visual patterns. For me it was worth the purchase price.
