I've been watching Carrie's Bee at A Passion For Applique and Lorre at Canterbury Quilts construct these blocks and I finally caved in and ordered the book yesterday. There is something about Piece o' Cake designs that I find irresistable.
Now I have a good reason to go fabric shopping because I know that I don't have enough of any fabric for the background. I just have to decide between black or red....maybe black AND red....hmmmmm.
If you want some really nice eye candy, go to Piece o' Cake and see the quilts their students made.
I can hardly wait for the book to get here, just so I can look at it LOL. Has anyone else made this beautiful quilt?

I love this quilt! I have the pattern but can't decide what color I want the backround to be.
I look forward to your version.
That quilt takes my breath away. It is so beautiful. I love Piece o' Cake.
Thank you for stopping by my blog and the birthday wishes. Hope you have a great day too!

That is a beautiful quilt....and I am sure you are anxious to get that book and get started.
I love that quilt....but...would I ever do it or would it become another UFO for me. Aghhh, why aren't there more hours in the day or why can't my body just get by with a little less sleep? Can't wait to see your version of it.
I have a friend that started that quilt. She is getting it as a block of the month in the colors shown. I don't quite care for the red but I have seen it in other colors and it looks lovely. Good luck on it.

I love that quilt!! I think the red background is fabulous.
Is this applique stuff? I must take a course in that. I can't imagine doing this. Now you and Karen who do this stuff, well ok.
Insanity for me
Oh sure Crispy. Like I really NEED another pattern. But gosh it sure is nice. Hummmmm I think I'll go check it out more.
I can see why you caved. I especially like the quilt with the green outside border and the yellow one. They are all beautiful!
I love the applique in that book, and I agree about the blogs sharing of the quilt are amazing. Enjoy, and happy fabric hunting for your fabric.
It'll be nothing but spectacular because everything you do is spectacular!!
Fantastic, I have loved every one of these versions that I've seen on blogs. I love a lot of the piece o cake patterns too.
Oh, another person to add to the crowd. I know what you mean about being drawn to the quilt. Boy, the quilts on the Piece O' Cake site are fabulous. Have fun doing yours. Can't wait to see.
