Birdseye, blister top, BBQ, etc...what I had in mind is show the flame type and identify it. Join flametop to term.

I didn't think birdseye was flame, never heard of blister top, and have no idea what to call mine except by the highly technical term "peek-a-boo".

What would you call it?

Have to agree with River. The top and color on jhun's R0 is superb and among the best I've seen.

Catfish: Love the Water flame. Even looks liike you have a ripple on the one side. Really nice.

Wash out, with plain patches......Too many cold beers top, that is
when your vision is partly impared......



This one is unique, a mix between quilt and flame, almost what I would
call a rolling quilt that is very wavy.......Very nice......

This is why I call it "peek-a-boo". These two photos were taken moments apart. Same time, same light, same everything except angle:





a) Plain top
b) Flame top - but what gay-designer-named type?
