Welcome to Flying Parrot Quilts! Here you'll find fun, quirky, and modern patterns inspired by science and traditional quilt blocks.

Hi, I'm Sylvia!

I'm a pattern designer, teacher, author, and award winning quilter. My modern quilt designs are often inspired by science or by traditional quilt blocks. I love paper piecing, too!

I'm available for guild lectures and workshops, and invite you to visit my Shop and Gallery!
