LOVE a quilt where you can't tell where the block starts and stops and this one is a great example of that. Very pretty - good for you!

This is gorgeous! What a great modern looking quilt, and I like your fabric choices.

Great quilt. I love the fabrics you chose, such wonderful contrast.

I have noticed your avatar before and thought it was so awesome.

Love your quilt!! So pretty - I love the colors you used!!

I really like this pattern, it is a little less traditional. I want to make a quilt for one of my daughters, and I need to find something that isn't so traditional. This just might work!! :-)

I really like this pattern as it's so versible (?). I've used it with a focus fabric and have also appliqued in the large blocks to make a themed quilt. It's an easy one to put together and looks amazing when you are done!! Your choice of fabrics is very pretty...I like it!

Just gorgeous! Beautiful workmanship.

here are two pics of my top in progress. if you use directional prints you just have to watch when you add your strips as to how the block will be turned.

Love yours! So much in fact... I have some of the Laurel Burch horse fabric and I'm thinking this is just the quilt to showcase it! Thanks for posting!

Bib and Candicane,

The pattern is called BQ by Maple Island Quilts. Their block is 18", but I reduced mine to 14"

Thanks for sharing your WIP. I love Asians and your quilt is going to really showcase them beautifully. Please post when you're done! I know what you mean about the directional factor, I ran into that too.

Beautiful quilt - isn't it fun to change things up a little. I have had the pattern for many years and have yet to make one, you inspire me to do one soon.

I saw one at a quilt show in Milwaukie, Oregon a few weeks ago from the BQ3 pattern. The quilter had made "Veggie Cats" (can't remember the pattern designer) and used them in the big block areas - it was absolutely stunning. She had many other quilts on display that were equally stunning - did beautiful applique work.

Yes, it certainly is fun to change things up. One thing I'd like to try is doing this quilt with a kaleidoscope in each square.

Terrific quilt! Love that pattern, and your fabrics are great!

#1piecemaker 04-04-2012 09:31 AM

Really gorgeous! I love the white you used. I am seeing more quilts with white as the background.

0tis 04-04-2012 03:33 PM

I love this one - I have the book for these quilts - yours is way more awesome than the ones in the book - what fabric did you use? I love it.

I never heard of BQ quilts before. This is a beautiful quilt. Love the colors you selected. This would be a great pattern for all of us who make charity quilts. Thanks for sharing your quilt and pattern with us.
