    Thank you for sharing the quilts and the memory of your mother. I also lost my mother to cancer 10 years ago. She was my best friend and I will always miss her.

    How beautiful the quilts are...and your Mother IS so glad you and your brother treasure them. I am currently making a memory quilt for my daughter and I have over 90 fabrics that represent parts of her life! It was such fun to go out and think of her constantly while finding fabrics that reminded me of her. I have chosen the log cabin, 12 inch square, and she and I are turning the squares, trying to find the one way we both love and it is such fun! She is amazed at how the patterns change with each new position. (I KNEW she would love it! I'm almost ready to velcro them so she can continue to change them at will!) Your brother's quilt gave me the idea for the border. I have made too many 2 1/2 inch strips for the squares so I can now make the 4 patch strips, cut them straight and place them on the same angle your Mother did! It will show the multi fabrics again, I can use some more of the fabrics, and it will look beautiful. Thank you to you, your mother and your brother for helping me out! :mrgreen: :thumbup:

    The name of the pattern, for all that have asked but haven't read through the other responses, is Yin Yang by Lee Fowler. I cannot find the pattern on sale or free anywhere, but I'm pretty sure it's just a template given in the class, so there really is no pattern.

    Thank you for all the kind and loving responses!

    I remember seeing this pattern in one of my quilting magazines, I'll look and see if I can find it.
