We chose Hobbs 80/20 batting and custom quilted it with continuous curve on the nine patch blocks and echo stitching on the snowball blocks
    May I ask what this pattern is called for the main part of the quilt?

    Thanks!

    Becky, The main part of the quilt is pieced with alternating nine patch and snowball blocks.

    Beautiful quilt....love the idea of the buttoned border. I love shirt quilts and this one is exceptionally creative.

    Wow! That is a very pretty quilt. I also like to re-cyle men's shirts for quilts.
