Summer Still Life [2]


Designers: Natalia Bonner and Kathleen Whiting of Piece N Quilt [3]

A simple coneflower becomes an artful element when machine-appliquéd to a sunny background that was pieced with an optional dimensional technique.

Summer Windmills

Happy solid orange, cheerful solid turquoise, and bright polka dot white combine to make Flying Geese units. When arranged around a center square, the units look like blades on windmills rotating in a summer breeze. Fabrics are from the Wallflower Waltz collection for Michael Miller Fabrics [6].

Shifting Directions [12]


Designers: Darlene Zimmerman [10] and Rachel Shelburne

Shifting Directions Color Option [15]


Easy Steps

The key to achieving the stair-step look is cutting the 2-1⁄2"-wide strips different lengths. The black-and-white prints allow the red squares to pop off the wall hanging. Fabrics are from the Tanglewood, Florina, and White Out collections from Blank Quilting [16].

Fussy-cut motifs fill star centers in this bright wall hanging. Standout geometric prints mimic the diamond and hexagon shapes of the pieced quilt center. Fabrics are from the Sunburst collection by Studio 8 for Quilting Treasures [23].

Row Houses [26]


Designer: Avis Shirer of Joined at the Hip [27]

Build this wall hanging row by row, pairing house blocks and bow tie blocks. The neighborhood appears to have angled streets as the bow-tie shapes run diagonally across the quilt top.

Where the Heart Is

House blocks surrounded by floral prints and connected by bow tie blocks create a street scene in this wall hanging. A stripe print cut in different directions changes up the look of the individual houses. Fabrics are from the Deco collection by Makower UK for Andover Fabrics [30].

Pretty in Pastels [33]


Designer: Rose Ann Cook

Create a bed-size quilt that’s deceptively easy. Repeating a single block in low-volume colors produces an almost plaid overall appearance. Fabrics are from the Paris Flea Market collection by 3 Sisters for Moda Fabrics [34]

Layer Upon Layer [40]


Designer: Monique Dillard of Open Gate Quilts [41]

Don’t be deceived. While this throw looks complex—as if a cream diagonal grid overlays a red grid atop a black background—it is composed of Jacob’s Ladder blocks assembled using a simple stitch-and-flip technique. Fabrics are from the Royal Gardens collection by Monique Dillard for Maywood Studio [42].

Layer Upon Layer Color Option [44]

A range of blues from light to medium to dark forms a grid look in this wall hanging. Dark floral squares emerge from assorted lighter blues to give the project depth. Fabrics are from the Indigo Blues collection by Pine Tree Country Quilts for Fabri-Quilt [45].
