Lime green triangles stand out against tans, browns, and creams. Four come together in the quilt center to form a spinning pinwheel. Small prints and near solids provide visual texture but let the eye focus on the form rather than the fabrics.

Quilt tester: Laura Boehnke

Fabrics: Primo Batiks Radiant Reflections collection by Sarah J. Maxwell and the Primo Batiks Neutral collection, both from Marcus Fabrics

Quilt tester Laura Boehnke's version of Give It a Whirl plays up the subtle color variances in batiks to create a calming quilt with flowing movement.

Give It a Whirl Color Option #2

Quilt tester: Elizabeth Beese

Most fabrics are from the Garden Rendezvous collection by Ro Gregg and the Happy collection, both from Paintbrush Studio.

In her Give It a Whirl variation, editor Elizabeth Beese experimented with saturation in the sunburst blocks. She made the star points more vivid than the backgrounds, giving each block a pleasing pop of color. She chose a large-scale print for the setting squares to tie the colors together and offset the tone-on-tones used in the sunburst blocks.

Frill Seeker Color Option

Project tester: Elizabeth Beese

Fabrics: Simply Eclectic collection by KariAnne Wood of Thistlewood Farms for Hoffman California Fabrics

Neutral fabrics with plenty of visual texture star in editor Elizabeth Beese's version of Frill Seeker. Large and medium florals and small geometrics provide variation in scale.

Fit to a Tee Color Option #1

Fit to a Tee Color Option #1

Quilt tester: Laura Boehnke

Fabrics: Kaffe Fassett Fall 2015 and Classics collections for Westminster Fabrics

Kaffe Fassett has long been known for his bold use of color. Two of his larger-than-life florals form the intriguing color scheme in one of quilt tester Laura Boehnke's versions of Fit to a Tee, where she replaced T-shirts with the large florals and two additional prints. Laura picked up on the purple and red accents in the florals and used them in the sashing and border. She used a third floral in the strip set that forms the sashing, causing a blending of sections rather than the sharply defined units of the T-shirt quilt.

Seaside Style

Who says a beach-inspired quilt has to be blue and tan? The starfish, beach glass, and seashell prints in this wall hanging inspire a beach vibe despite the nontraditional color scheme.
