I went to OK last year to visit my best friend since childhood. She had recently retired from the military and I made her a quilt as a gift. While there we went fabric shopping and after learning that her husband Brian loves Oklahoma University we came across this fabric so I decided I was going to make a "thank you" gift for him as I took up all of his wife's time for the week I was there visiting.
I had a hard time figuring out a pattern to use as fussy cutting the blocks wasn't working very well and when I sewed my 1/4" seams I was losing the images on the 4 patch squares so I purchased a quilt book titled LavenderLime which contained several patterns designed with panels and large scale prints in mind. This pattern is called Panel and Chain. I still need to add a 3" inner border and a 7" outer border. This currently measures 40 1/2" x 60 1/2" so once I add the borders it will be a good size for Brian since he's very tall. I hope he'll like it.
Made in 2013.
