This has become the Rorschach test of patterns with every viewer seeing something different. I thought to call this Away, but that is the name of a suitcase company (a suitcase I own and really like) and I don't want to get into any copyright disagreements.
Vamoose is a word I don't think I've ever used. It was an exotic one we would hear on tv, one that someone from a city would use. And a funny word. (I now live in the city and have never heard it here either--I wonder if city people think it is something farm people say.)
So, Vamoose! it is.
Vamoose!

I like the straight set for this, making the look of handles on cases. I played with a staggered set that I liked too which gave a bit of a parkour look to the quilt.
My design. Use at your pleasure.
