Please note: These instructions are untested as I have NOT yet made my quilt. Read over them carefully before beginning and please email me with any questions.
This queen size version was pieced by Nancy (my aunt) and quilted by me. Instructions include two sizes but to make a quilt this large, you’ll need to add additional blocks.
Mom’s smaller version
Here’s one by Alison. You can see more photos of her quilt by clicking here.

wow I love the contrast in the colors are pretty. Thanks Debbie Kelly
Mary, your choice of fabrics is wonderful. It enhanced the pattern creating a stunning quilt. You are very impressive!
Another fave of mine, have pulled out fabric for it but unsure of the prints, might go for a tone on tone look, decisions decisions!
Hi Mary,
I like this new pattern. I just finished making the Tessalating Pinwheel pattern that you have shown. You are very definitely a designer, maker, crafter, and talented. Thank you for sharing your patterns. I have a question. You said that you might make this quilt for a charity project, but you would leave off the borders, and I wondered why?
Thanks. Geri
Mary- you most definitely are a designer. I am so glad you gave us the directions for this quilt. I am very partial to purple and I love the way you put this together. I have a GO cutter and may make this pattern soon. Thanks for your blog and your willingness to share with us.
Thanks Mary … I love love this pattern.
Absolutely you’re a designer Mary, and you most definitely have been published by posting your fabulous instructions on the web. The only thing missing in this picture is the payment that goes with the other types of media. You need to rectify that!!
Mary, you ARE a designer. And a darned good one at that. I’m ready to start cutting the Half Log Cabin.
