Elizabeth used the glorious Free Spirit solids in her version. I opted to go stash shopping to make mine. I used mostly prints for the colored squares, with a few solids thrown in the mix. (I'm a little concerned that I found all of these fabrics in my stash. Remind me why I keep buying more...)
Luke has made me promise that we will keep this quilt for ourselves. See, the maze-like pattern makes the perfect road for his cars, the perfect town for his action figures, etc. (Note to self--finish this one fast!) I think it would make a great bed quilt. Luke thinks we should get rid of our living room rug and keep this on the floor instead.
(Blerg--just now noticing that I sewed those orange squares together incorrectly.)
Cutting up all of the squares takes some time, but I made quick work of it with this tool. I love the simple and striking design!
Now, head to Elizabeth's blog and show her some love! I'll be back soon with my Bloggers' Quilt Festival entry.

That is a great quilt! Love the idea of a road rug! :)
I'm so glad that Luke loves this quilt so much! I think he's totally right, it would make a fabulous kiddo rug :) Thank you again so much for helping me through the pattern writing process, you were so fabulous!!
This is very pretty! You did a fantastic job!

Oh great job! I love love it and totally agree about how fabulous Elizabeth's directions/instructions are.
I'm with Luke on this. That quilt is awesome for so many reasons!
Love the quit!
hmmmm - interesting ruler. I seriously have SO MANY already. But that seems quite useful. Is it really slippery? I have trouble keeping my rulers from scooching around when I cut.
Love your version, so beautiful! You are right, Elizabeth designed a beautiful quilt!
