Where have the pictures been? That is a good question. You see I bought Heavy Duty batteries - my camera did not like them... So I got "digital" batteries instead. Viola - it works! Yes, I have rechargeable batteries - yes I think I know where they are and where the adapter is too - I just don't get all of those things together to actually charge the batteries until I want to use them & then it is too late....
I'll start with the back - well just a corner of the back - it is all made out of this lovely cat flannel. Meow! Cool binding too, huh? I love to use stripes as bindings - especially when that are not "regular" like a perfect pin stripe.
A couple blocks - sorry about the off-color... My red looks very orangey....This pattern was inspired by Pat Speth's Millenium Star. I like this secondary pattern better.... Speacking of secondary pattern, on this quilt I did something that I rearely if ever do - I only used 1 background fabric. (I only had one 2.5 inch WOF strip left over!)
A corner shot - Yes, those are coordinating fabrics! (2 points for those of you out there saying, "Is that Hanukah print in a multi-color - not just blue & yellow or blue & white.)
Hanukkah Sameach - Happy Hanukkah in Hebrew - TOO COOL! I was so excited when I saw that.
The whole quilt being held up by my tall husband who is standing on our ottoman...

Oh my goodness! Fabric with Hebrew! I'd have been excited too. I chuckled at the "tall husband on the ottoman." The things these guys do for us and our quilting! LOL!!!
What a beautiful quilt. THe fabric is so bright and I love the pattern. Well done.
I've missed your pictures.... Beautiful quilt....
beautiful quilts!
awesome quilt, dandylion! Maybe some day you can show us a picture of the "man behind the quilt"
What an outstanding quilt -- I love that it's multi-colored. Nice to step out of the box. I have been using digital batteries for a few months now. Bought a set for emergency backup while on vacation and soon learned they are far more reliable and long lasting than rechargables.
I've seen this pattern and even cut some fabric to start the scrappy blocks, and cut a few pieces, but it never went farther than that. Of course mine weren't as pretty and cheerful as your fabric.
Love the quilt - and it is backed with cat print flannel? You can't get more purrrrfect than that :)
What a beautiful quilt!
