I love this quilt! Especially as the fabric was named for a great town in my home state!

It is beautiful. I've only just found your blog Jera, and I was missing out! I'm trying out your Strawberry Fields Forever design as my first ever quilt.

Hi Carolynn - this is a tricky quilt because 1) it's an abstract quilt; it's not your traditional quilt with perfect corners, and 2)you have to make sure you cut everything exactly as it's shown in the 4th picture. Reading your comment, it's hard for me to visualize what might have gone wrong. Is there a possibility you can snap a photo of your quilt so I can take a look? You can

I LOVED this idea and got right to work. I was ok for steps 1 to 5. But seem to be missing something. When I sew the 7 pieces together I do get a CRAZY QUILT and not the 20 perfectly rearranged squares as shown in your main quilt top. I was very careful to use 1/4" seams and made a point of ironing everything, but NONE of the corners are meeting and they're not just a bit off.

Absolutely GORGEOUS!! Wow, they turned out great with the charm squares. Love the colors you used. I'll have to share your quilts on my blog. Thank you so much for sharing!! :*) -Jera

Thanks again for the pattern!

I made a version out of a charm pack (for the centre) and a roll of 5-1/2" strips (for the border)

Then repeated it in flannels with a group of quilting friends. Here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahquilts/5091455530/in/photostream/

To those having problem lining your corners up: On this quilt the 1/4" seam allowance is very important; i had to pay very close attention to that too. And being that this is an abstract design, I hope you can still enjoy it without some corners lining up perfectly :o)

I'm still a newbie at this, and I must say this quilt looks like a work of genius to me.... I'm not intimidated to start this at all! Thank you so much for contributing to the bake shop!

2010-08-16T16:22:15.089-05:00

I have to say I had the same problems as Daniela. Never did get the squares to line up perfect. Made me crazy trying to get it to work, spent hours and just gave up. Ok pattern if your not into having your squares line up perfect. I for one thought it looked like a first time quilt projcet for someone that didn't know how to quilt really not happy with it. good luck

Thanks everyone for your kind comments! This pattern was a lot of fun. Piecing together a quilt top can be so fussy at times, it was fun to deviate from that and do something a little whacky. I'd LOVE to see how this turns out using charm packs as The Hillbilly Wife (love that name! :-p) suggested. Great idea! If you don't mind sharing and if you get to it, i'd love to see it (

To the previous commenter .. if you use a charm pack instead, just note where the lines are drawn (they're not random!)

You could make the same size using 8x10 charms, if you only used 4x5 the quilt would be quarter size.

I'd suggest drawing the charms and cut lines on graph paper to make sure it works before cutting (and by the way - I love your idea, and have two

2010-07-13T14:30:48.834-05:00

Just cuz I like to make things difficult, and because I have a charm pack handy, and NOT a layer cake...I think I'll make it 1/2 size with a charm pack. Think it will work?
