I read the information sheet but its been 9 years. I think he is a dentist and it took him three years to do this. Im pretty sure he said his wife is a quilter but this was his first quilt.

Wow, that is beautiful. It is amazing what you can do with fabric.

achancy -
The Last Supper is spectacular. and soooo big! Wow, that had to take a long time to not only draw up the pattern but to cut all those little squares. Thanks for sharing!

Quite a while ago, I saw one with pics of the 9-11 victims printed on diamond shaped fabric and I think it was in the shape of a lone star pattern. It was beautiful on it's own but when you zoomed in, and could see all their faces, it was quite eerie.

All I see are 2 dogs and a background.

Sorry this is so many days late. I just left Lehi Utah this morning (Thursday) I purposely stopped at Broadbents where this quilt came from on BOM. The lady (very sweet) gave me the ladys email address that did the blocks.
[email protected] the ladys name is Joylyn

Again so sorry it is days later. Hope you find your pattern.
