I'm looking for two specific patterns, and I'm having difficulty finding what I need in google. One is for the University of Michigan "M" logo. I want to make my brother a lap throw. I know it can't be that difficult, all squares or half square triangles, but I want to get the font exact. I could probably figure it out myself, but I thought for sure there would be a pattern out there. Haven't been able to find it. The other, I have seen in a book, but I've read about a gazillion quilt books from the library, and I cannot for the life of me find it again. It's a rooster block that's made with pretty much squares and triangles, some 1/4 square size. I think it may have been a demonstration block for making a pot-holder, which is what I want it for as a gift for someone who collects. All I have been able to find online are applique's or rooster-print fabric when I do keyword searches. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it!! |

Lisa, Is this the one you were looking for? http://www.sandybonsib.com/pattern_archive_Jan02.htm I've been collecting sites with various chicken and rooster patterns since I want to make a quilt for my sister who collects them. This one is cute and seems pretty easy. Hope this helps. Betty |

Hi Betty! No, the one I was looking for wasn't stylized at all. It looked more like a real rooster. I'm thinking it may have been made up of mini-triangles and squares in order to look as natural as it did. I tried to design one myself using graph paper, but I can't quite get there. I think I just need to trace an applique'd one that looks pretty realistic, enlarge it and digitize it to come up with the pieces. Thanks for checking it out for me, though! |

Hello Lisa, You might try some of the fillet crochet books out by Dover or look for cross stitch patterns. Enlarged, easily interpreted into a patchwork. Hope these suggestions help. Melissa |

Melissa, you're a genius! I never thought about converting a cross-stitch pattern to patchwork, but it would be perfect for what I'm trying to do. I'm off to do some new searching. :) |
