Here is my newest creation for the ...
Opposites Attract Blog Hop
Marian @ Seams To Be So
created and organized this hop.
What a great idea for a blog hop ...
two colors,
small quilt
... the possibilities are endless!
This concept really inspired my quilty muse and I had a few ideas.
This is the new design idea that I finally chose ...
I am calling this new pattern
+ Opposites + Attract +
as it incorporates plus signs in opposing colors.
Here is the +Opposites+ block I designed.
To further emphasize the opposites theme
I made this block in opposing fabrics and
included both in the layout.
I really enjoyed making this quilt
I chose a simple wave design for the quilting.
For the backing, I used the blue on orange dot fabric
that inspired the color choice,
which I blogged about HERE
As always, Katniss was very helpful in the making of this quilt.
I think she really likes this one for and have promised her she may have it for her basket after summer is over.
Right now it is the perfect size for our outside table.
This quilt measures 34" by 21"
I hope you have enjoyed reading about this quilt
as much as I enjoyed making it.
I have other quilty visions for this design ...
and an alternative block to explore!

On the homefront in the scrapatch,
things are still somewhat frustrating.
My quilt computer is still down.
My blogging capabilities continue to be greatly reduced.
At least we have the yard swing back up to enjoy the yard!
Happy summer!

I like your summer table runner, Pat! Great design and yummy opposite colors; bright and perfect for the season.
Almost has a southwestern appeal to it with those colors you chose. I love both of the fabrics, the design is really quite unique, I will look forward to seeing what else you do with this.. Wonderful Wonderful, so happy to see you again with a great new project.
Oh that turned out great Pat! what a fun pattern.
Dissolve it Pat! Great info too

What a clever pattern, and a great choice of colors!
I love it! Thank you for posting as it gave me an idea to quilt a top that I am just finishing. Did not know what to do with it and I think the wavy line idea will be perfect!

Wowziers! This is just awesome. I love your opposites and am blown away with the precision piecing. Great job!

Love your quilt -- looks like your helper likes it too. Nancy A: rangerer@sbcglobal.net
Love your choice of colors and creativity in the name and plus signs, great job.
I like how the plus signs are not only opposite in color, but opposite in placement!
Hi Pat, very clever. Love blue and orang
Different combination but they are opposites. Nice work.
Your colors look electrifying! As if they are plugged in! Nice.
The wavy quilting makes the lines appeared curved--optical illusions all round

I really love how you used the original block and its inverse for this mini quilt. Really great job on this!
The colors go beautifully with thee swing. Maybe Katness would like to lay on the swing. The pattern reminds me of a maze. I agree with the Queen, cute quilt.
That is pure fun! Katniss obviously thinks so, too. What a great design. Thanks for showing how you made it, too. It creates such a great secondary puzzle when both blocks are put together.
You have designed a very cool block and the table topper turned out great! Thanks for sharing.
Very pretty. I like it.
Thanks for your very interesting explanation of your process/quilt. Love your cat, by the way.
Katniss sure does like "his" quilt. Nice job.
I really enjoy your site. Thank you
Your Table-topper is Awesome!! Definitely screams Summer! Loooove it!! Your sweeeet Helper is Beautiful too! & such a gooood lil' Helper at that!! :)
Very cool table topper...almost seems like a labyrinth in some ways. Thanks for sharing.
I love this combination of colors. Great inspiration,I never quite know how to use orange. Thank you for sharing!
Great quilt, Katniss looks like she's trying to be so sneaky, stealing your scissors!
