Elaine has a large collection of blue fabric (she is not alone!).
She decided to put some of them together is this very
appealing quilt. She still has a large collection of blue fabric,
and now a beautiful quilt as well

The layout and quilting are both simple and straight forward,
the blue and white prints are the heroes.

Tiny cornerstones are a perfect choice. Elaine machine quilted
in the ditch along the sashing seams and is very happy with
 the simple hand quilting inside the squares recommended by Jeni..

Anne was asked to make a baby quilt for a new mother who
loves Winnie the Pooh, and came up with both a feature print
and background fabric in which Winnie stars.

You can see little Winnie among the flowers in the counterpanes.

Jenn’s quilts for her children’s primary school teachers are
legendary! Now she has a teen quilt holder to help
keep a record.  Her son thoughtfully chose which quilts
were for specific teachers.
First up is the ‘Aura Quilt’ designed by Nydia Kehnle and
Alison Glass, made in mostly Kona solids.

Teacher quilt 2 is not a published pattern, and Jenn says
 ‘I just use the same ratio of two squares and one rectangle
with sashing and then jumble it up together and it
always looks great’.

Teacher quilt 3  ‘Tone It Down’ pattern, designed by Lissa
Alexander, published by American Patchwork and Quilting.
 ‘I used up almost all of my Kona Snow here, and specifically
dug out my most vivid print scraps. There are some favorites in
there - Heather Ross dogs and gnomes and  frogs, carefully
hoarded Lizzy House twinkle stars, some original Koi…
I was so happy to work on this. So many fabric friends
…I enjoyed making all these tiny squares with perfect points.’
