Heres what were talking about:

  • Libbys Log Cabin:
    Marianne Fons combined two of her favorite traditional blocks in this throw quilt using the Log Cabin quilt block and Variable Star quilt block. She chose one red fabric print for the stars to make them stand out against the scrappy background. This is a beautiful variation on a traditional Log Cabin quilt. Layouts like this are unique and create a stunning final quilt.
  • Patriotic Pinwheels:
    Patriotic quilt patterns like this offer a sense of unity, especially when the quilter gives this quilt as a gift or donation. This quilt was designed to meet the requirements of the Quilts of Valor program. We’ve chosen a patriotic color scheme for Patriotic Pinwheels, but this versatile quilt would work equally well with other fabric combinations.
  • Coming Home:
    This fat quarter friendly quilt is a throw size quilt pattern by designer-extraordinaire, Pat Sloan. This quilt features happy house blocks and will make you smile! Follow the instructions using similar colors or choose to go with a monochromatic scheme. We’ll show you how it would look using shades of blue!
  • Whirling Pinwheels:
    A colorful quilt and the result of Nancy Mahoney’s simple strip piecing method. The lovely thing about this technique is that it eliminates the need to cut those pesky triangles. We’ll show you how to use your fat quarters to make these simple triangles. To make this quilt even easier, we’ve included a Sew Easy lesson on Cutting 60 Diamonds and Pyramids.
