Somehow I ended up on the Happy Zombie blog. Yes, that is a quilt blog. I loved the turquoise and cherries theme. I was fascinated by everything that Monica, Happy Zombie’s mistress, has done in the quilt world. There are lots of fun links to look at in the sidebar.
While I did love the colors and theme I really liked her version of the Oh Fransson New Wave quilt and am actually planning on making one. I love the way she used a ruler to cut the pieces. I think it is a good use of a Jelly Roll. You can four photos of the quilt on her site, the main one is here.
As an added bonus, Monica and I had a personal exchange about the ruler she used, which was cheerful and nice.
Definitely go to her site to look at the photos. The quilt is awesome.
I saw a similar quilt recently on line somewhere. I should take note of these more often and share like you do! lol The one I saw called it Lava Lamps I think? They used colors from the sixties. Anyway, it is a neat quilt idea….hmmmmmmmm….maybe we should be quilting buddies and do the same quilt and see how each other’s looks? hmmmmmmm
I bought the background fabric and Jelly Roll and ruler, so get your act together, missy! I am happy to do a mini Quilt-a-long. Who wants to play?
SherriD: I’d love to see the lava lamp version, and it would be great if you could find it again.

Anyway, this is probably the same pattern.
Yes, this is a similar pattern. This looks like a Come Quilt with Me template. The difference is that it doesn’t have the white (or other) border. I am not picky on how my quilt-a-long friends put their quilts together.

I don’t know which I like better! lol
