By the Sea

Designer: Mary Elizabeth Kinch

Fabrics: Shot Cottons collection by Kaffe Fassett for Rowan Fabrics and the New Colourshott collection by Oakshott

Memories of seagrass baskets and gentle beach days in South Carolina's Low Country beget this wall hanging's woven look. Rather than setting in seams, the designer used partial seams to create the illusion.

By the Sea Color Option

Quilt tester: Laura Boehnke

Fabrics: Imperial Collection 11 by Robert Kaufman Fabrics

Quilt tester Laura Boehnke transported her same-size version of By the Sea from the seashore to a nighttime garden. Amping up the contrast between the strip sets and the background changed the look from that of a woven basket to a wood-frame trellis. Light glinting off the metallic highlights in the Asian-inspired fabrics enhances the three-dimensional effect of the piecing.

Color Cubes Color Option

Quilt tester: Laura Boehnke

Fabrics: Modern Muse collection by Stephanie Brandenburg and the Plaster of Paris collection, both for Frond Design Studios

Quilt tester Laura Boehnke used a rainbow of mottled fabrics in her color wheel-inspired version of Color Cubes. A black background contains the design within each block. While the painterly fabrics result in a less crisp look than if solids were used, Laura's project is a gorgeous example of what else you can do with this design and still maintain the transparency.

Modern Vintage Color Option

Quilt tester: Laura Boehnke

Fabrics: Modern Country collection by Mary Elizabeth Kinch for Windham Fabrics

Sweet prints with country flair make up quilt tester Laura Boehnke's version of Modern Vintage. The wall hanging is a study in contrast, with some blocks having distinctive differences between the light and dark areas and others having only subtle differences. Laura added 1"- and 4"-wide finished borders to frame her vintage-looking blocks.
