Birds of a Feather

Build a fanciful quilt block by block, stitching either one mother bird or two baby birds in each. The smooth, curvy pieces are a snap to machine-appliqué, and the retro-inspired design encourages the use of bold, bright fabrics.

This rich, dark table runner makes a great housewarming gift that comes together quickly.

Pick navy and burgundy fabrics from the Briarcliffe collection for Timeless Treasures to use in a small version of Midnight Garden.

Balancing Act Color Option

Topsy-Turvy Triangles

For this wall hanging version of Balancing Act, choose candy-color prints from Johnny Karwan's Delilah and Delilah Wheels collections for Clothworks.

Because they're made of tone-on-tones in a variety of colors, the outer triangles in the pieced triangles clearly stand out from one another. Any print containing black looks striking in the triangle centers.

Artfully Inspired Color Option

Blue Bouquet Table Topper

Each of the colors in the center flower medallion was inspired by the palette of the floral outer border. A one-block version of Artfully Inspired features the Journey collection by Gudren Erla of GE Designs for Red Rooster Fabrics.

Use fusible appliqué, stitching each shape in place with thread that closely matches each piece.

For an eye-catching piece of wall art, try framing the piece and hanging it on point.

To change the look of Star Power, skip the sashing and join blocks in straight-set rows. Marie Osmond's Blanc et Noir Fashion prints for Quilting Treasures are set off with fuchsia tone-on-tones. Two finished borders visually separate the quilt center from a finished outer border.
