applique quilt
Often the best ideas for quilts come from seeing quilts that other quilters have made, and hearing how they got their ideas.
Above is a quilt that I made for a teacher’s new baby. Quilting daughter, Stephanie, found a greeting card with this picture on it, and she decided it would make a great quilt.
And, she was right. It was a challenge to create the pattern and sew it together, but it remains one of my favorite quilts – both from the feeling of accomplishment and, well, I just like the quilt!
Below are links to articles showing different quilt designs and giving you a little insight into their construction.

I am so Inspired, and so very, VERY impressed with your comprehensive site, links, etc., that I just HAD to feature you/your site on my blog!
I cannot believe the work you put into all this jammed packed information all about quilting!
I hope my quilting friends (beginners, intermediates, and advanced quilters) thoroughly take advantage of these most-excellent sites of yours…
Thank You seems like words too small and not descriptive enough, but Thank You for doing all this!
