Summertime Blues

Color Options and Web-Exclusive Projects from American Patchwork & Quilting June 2009

Curvy quilting softens the edges of the pieced flowers and leaves, fooling the eye into seeing them as curved rather than straight. Button-centered appliquéd flowers and an inner border of hourglass blocks give this quilt charm.

Summertime Blues Color Option

Summertime Blues Color Option

Transform the forget-me-nots of Summertime Blues into tropical blooms with bold fabrics. A black tone-on-tone background provides subtle movement, yet doesn't compete with the piecing or appliqué.

Faux Finish

Faux Finish

At first glance this quilt looks more time-consuming than it actually is. What saves you time? The appliqué foundations aren't really pieced. Instead the designers used a "cheater" checkerboard print, needle-turning the floral motifs on top.

Fused Garden Blooms

Quilt tester Laura Boehnke beautifully framed just one block in her table-topper version of Faux Finish. To mimic the look of hand appliqué in less time, she fused pieces in place, then machine-stitched around each piece with matching thread and a tiny zigzag.
