I modified the Carpenters square block to create this in 4 colors. A friend of mine lost her husband two years ago and recently has been fighting an illness. I wanted to create something Celtic but bright and cheerful. I hope to deliver it this week. I don't know if anyone else has seen this design offered for sale. If they have I would like to know what it is called. I'm calling it The Celtic Carpenter

The colors really pop when they are in the sun,

I did a all over meander for the quilting.

The back is a beige flannel sheet, it's warm but still light. Best thing is other than the batting, it was all in my stash, I hope it will make her smile.

Thanks for looking.

I really like that pattern. It seems like I have seen it recently or one very similar. Maybe in one of the quilting magazines I subscribe to...At any rate yours turned out really, really nice :-)

I am sure your friend will enjoy using your lovely quilt. Thank you for the idea of using a flannel sheet for the background fabric.

Wow! Beautiful! It will be treasured by your friend.

Thank you for the nice comments


Copycat the background fabric is normal quilting cotton, the backing fabric is the flannel sheet. But I think it would be interesting to use flannel for the yellow to give it a two tone feel, thank you for the idea.
