    With pleasure! It's called Paradigm Shift and it's in McCall's Quilting magazine, May/June 2010, Vol. 17 issue 3. It was designed by Janelle Cedusky. In the magazine, the squares that are red in my quilt are lime green. I also made mine larger than in the magazine, original pattern makes a 52.25" x 60 7/8" size. It was very easy and rated as "Beginner" (which is good as that's what I am!). It just looks more complicated. The hardest part was making sure that I got all the blocks aligned with the dark/light to form the diamond shapes. I ended up taking photos of them after I got a layout that I liked and referring to them as I sewed the rows together.

    I am fortunate enough to do just that. It is wonderful. I also babysit my grandaughter full time as her nanny so I guess I don't exactly quilt all day. But I have a lot of opportunity and flexibility.

    Your quilts are great. I love the one on the bed.

    I made one quilt in 1983 and didn't quilt again until 4 years ago. I still have that first quilt.

    The board is fun. Welcome and enjoy it here.
