Puzzle Quilt

When Sue announced the quilt challenges at Three Creative Studios I knew I wanted to join in. The first challenge was "puzzle". I went through several ideas; first being time as that is my biggest challenge - finding time to do it all! Then I thought of creating a quilt inspired by one of my brother's paintings of the Primrose Triangle. Finally I decided on a functional quilt - I thought I'd only use that term, functional, for my clay work!
 So with three across and five down how many variations can I make with this quilt? Is it 2 to the 15th power? That makes it in the thousands! Here are a few ......
 
The photo below is one while in the making before quilting or adding the velcro.

    WOW - that is such a cool idea ! I love it! Your quilt looks really inspiring. Even if I don't have an idea how many possibilities there might be ... how much fun is it that you can change the look of the quilt every day. Without a single stitch. Take care, Frauke

    I love it too Gina. I want to do these blocks as well and hopefully will have time to backtrack and do them soon. Yours is a great incentive.
