Will look up the pattern name and add in here the next time. It was in a quilting magazine as a wall hanging. Took it up to a king. It does make two quilts with a lot of scrap. Have to buy extra borders and backing. This was our first diaganol corners, which we were hapy with.

Appreciate all the comments, as this was my first posting.

The quilt involves putting seven strips together on one set and 6 strips of other colors. Then triangles are cut out of each set of strips. My son and I started it and did all the cutting the first night and then worked every night on it after my grandson went to bed. With my wife helping, each of the three of us put in about 40 hours that first week. After my son left Gabriele and I took over and easily put in another 100 hrs each. We called it our midnight madness quilt, but in the end it was worth it. The pattern is called Midnight Sun and was in the Fons and Porter Sep/Oct 2008 magazine. I guess we weren't far off in name! LOL We hope to finish the counterpart quilt in the spring.
