I call this the Math Quilt because it has math stuff in it, and I made it for my son who is majoring in engineering. It was kind of fun to work with white and grays for a change of pace, and the backing is a dark gray pinstriped fleece. If you look closely, you will see that it has other types of science and school-oriented fabric, and if you look really closely on the last picture, which has fabric that looks like binder paper, you will see that the math depicted is quilting math! How's that for adding a touch of Mom to his quilt?
The block is a Disappearing Shoo Fly, and I got the pattern idea on Wayne Kollinger's website. He always does the coolest things with quilt design. I am thrilled to have turned one of his ideas into a reality, so much so that I'm putting this on the Blogger's Quilt Festival. Woo hoo!
UPDATE: I realize that this quilt pattern is NOT the same as the one on Wayne's site...that quilt top is still unfinished (and unpictured). I found this pattern elsewhere. I'm still happy to link to Wayne's site because he is a genius with designs, and hope I can find the source of this pattern soon. I used the Accuquilt dies for the triangles and it went super fast.
