Oh well...

Anita, if you like the look of the Yellow Brick Road, but you find the instructions confusing (which I did, but I was "changing too many things"), you might google Two Slice Layer Cake quilt pattern. That should take you to Missouri Quilt Company, where they have a tutorial that makes a quick quilt that looks very much like the YBR. It starts with a Layer Cake (42 ten inch squares), but I have made it just with fabric and it works that way too. In fact, let me see if I can find a picture.

Okay, I found two pictures. The first is with a layer cake, and the second is with five fabrics. Perhaps this pattern might be one that you might like, if you are after a YBR look.

Thanks, Dina! Your quilts are beautiful. I especially like the brown one (I am partial to earth tones). Thanks for the suggestions on the tutorial. Will definitely check it out. Thanks again! I am still going to have my DH decipher the YBR pattern for me, however...he needs to be more involved in my quilting, than just cleaning my machine! LOL
