Staff member Leslie Knoop designed Summer at the Lake for Quilt Sampler® Spring/Summer 2011 magazine.

Valerie Krueger machine-quilted a variety of swirl and leaf motifs in the blocks and borders of Summer at the Lake.

Using fabrics from the Baby Circus collection from Quilting Treasures, quilt tester Laura Boehnke adapted Summer at the Lake to make a six-block version fit for a nursery. The outer border (cut 6-1/2" wide) is ideal for showcasing novelty prints.
