Stone Log Cabin, made and quilted by Ann Martinez  

This quilt was based on the "Stone Log Cabin" pattern in Kaffe Fassett's Quilts in Italy. Ann Martinez says, "My inspiration came from my stash of Kaffe Fassett's fabrics... I only had enough fabric to make a wall version of the pattern."  We love the color combinations and black-and-white accents!

 Shadow Block Illusion, made by Gail Witt, quilted by Jessica Jones 

Gail Witt says, "I used my extensive collection of Kaffe fabrics for my Shadow Block quilt.  The optical illusion of a shadow provides depth and dimension.  Jessica (Jones)' straight line quilting is the perfect complement to the design.  The quilt was based on the 2015 Shadow Block online tutorial by Debora Exum.

Midnight Sensation by Yvonne M. Flores, quilted by Quality Quilterz

This quilt has a fascinating kaleidoscope effect! Pattern for this quilt was a mystery quilt by Michelle Renee Hiatt (the Holiday Sensation Medallion Series 2022).  Yvonne Flores says this was her first Mystery Quilt!  "I decided to purchase the kit because the outcome was unknown.  The class was taught by Joyce Holley.  Piecing was done using the Studio 180 precision rulers to achieve perfect points."

Batik Beauties (1)

We love batiks! Their striking beauty is enhanced by designs that incorporate star blocks. The spiky points of the stars provide numerous opportunities for the eye to perceive the color contrasts in the fabrics.We hope you enjoy these photos.

Crown of Thorns by Carol W. Carpenter, quilted by Kris Neifeld

Gorgeous colors and contrasts can be seen in this quilt. Carol Carpenter says, "This Judy Niemeyer pattern was challenging, even though I chose the smaller version of the pattern.  It is beautiful in design and especially meaningful to me as my Easter season quilt."  Spiky New York Beauty blocks, and strong contrasts, add to the visual appeal.

 There's a Bear There, made and quilted by Rhonda Borders.

This is an original design by Rhonda Borders, showcasing some very special batiks.  Rhonda says,  "We had to visit a couple of quilt stores on a trip to Alaska.  These bear batiks were available in Anchorate.  I designed a placemat/quilt to maximize their presence." The tree blocks add to the Alaska ambience, while sawtooth stars conjure the night sky.

Wishing Star by Meg Silvern, quilted by Linda Powell.

Stars within stars, done in wintery blues and whites! Meg Silvern says, "I made this quilt on a quilt cruise with Stitchin' Heaven in 2023.  Sandra Coffey was the teacher." Pattern source: Judy Niemeyer Quilting. An allover quilting design was used, resembling swirls in the snow.

Starburst in Color by Yvonne M. Flores, quilted by Quality Quilterz. 

This classic lone star design positively glows, lending the appearance of a stained glass quilt. Yvonne Flores says, "Seeing this quilt in a quilt show was the inspiration to learn how to paper piece.  It's Judy Niemeyer's Prismatic Star. It's a favorite because this was my 'impossible dream' completed 2 years later."

Color Me - Glorious Splendor by Yvonne M. Flores, quilted by Quality Quilterz

This vibrant quilt by Yvonne Flores was based on the 2022 Glorious Splendor Mystery Series by Michele Renee Hiatt at 'Sew On The Go'.  The mystery quilt was an 18 week series using Studio 180 rulers.  Yvonne Flores says, "I had leftover fabric from a previous quilt and accumulated fat quarters that I thought would "play" well together.  I love color and finding new combinations." The result is certainly stunning.
