Debbie you might love this garment. It's a child sweatshirt pattern, open front center the fleece is your backing and just make it crazy patch or any design you like, I've made an adult one with strip 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0 inch widths from scraps turned out great. Many compliments. Very easy, put lots of compliments.

Debbie, you'll hate me for saying this,  water tanks have flame underneath for heating up the water.. The pile of fabric is very close and can be hazardous, also if it tips over, it will break the white tubing along tank which cuts of your hot water. Just having a techn come in is costly.  Their has been some tanks amongst quilters that started a fire her whole house burnt down. Always a good idea to have them check.. Since her house incident I keep watch on mine.

You like puzzles, are you aware with EQ5 and EQ7 quilt program there is a place to enter a picture where program breaks it up in pixels meaning picture is broken into little squares for you to recreate the picture with fabric as in puzzle. The program breaks down the amt of fabric and number template to get it done.. I self taught with lots of knowledge making the project is another class.

See all your lovely quilts, and I wish had better income to take classes and own longarm or other lovely fun technology.

My birthday in March 4 just turned 54yrs.. But you would never see doing a race.. Learning t cut back on sweets is my focus..

You asked about a pattern for my "Rainbow After the Storm" quilt - I used graph paper and colored pencils to get the colors laid out the way I wanted them.  I believe the total size of the quilt was 120 inches square.

Debbie..thank you so much for the information. I loved the way yours came out, and am going to try to duplicate the pattern.  I have tons of scraps to work with.

HI Debbie........I love the last quilt you posted.  It is beautiful.  I have a huge bin of different size stripes, and think that would be a great quilt to make. Can you tell me what size the string blocks are and what size the 9 patches are?  Thank you.   Did you come up with the pattern yourself?  You did such a great job.

Thanks.  Linda

If you ever want to meet over coffee just let me know.  I've been going to Crafty Lady since the day she opened and know the owner fairly well.  I rarely shop at our quilt store anymore though I used to enjoy it when it was more active and not just a place that carries some fabric.  The Blackfalds one is great.
