Finished Quilts
Finished Science Quilt: Corona
When I went to the AQS Chattanooga show back in the fall of 2015, I really fell in love with Zen Chic's Modern Background Ink line. All that was left in the Moda both was a jelly roll.

Name Challenge mini quilt

I'm excited to reveal my latest quilt pattern, "Red Diamonds"! It is based on a traditional block called "Red Peony Buds." The pattern for this quilt has just been released in the Spring 2016 issue of Modern Patchwork magazine. Because … [Read more...] about Red Diamonds quilt

Here are two quilts I've made for recent swaps. There seem to be less swaps happening on Instagram these days, so my obligations for the time being are finished. That's probably a good thing, as I have a ton of personal projects awaiting … [Read more...] about Two more swap mini quilts
