Spinning Stars

Careful color placement in the hourglass units on quilt tester Laura Boehnke's table topper version results in a rose-color pinwheel at the center of each block. Before cutting fabric, experiment with graph paper and colored pencils to see what secondary patterns you can make emerge. Fabrics are from the 1 is One collection by Tasha Tudor for RJR Fabrics.

Batik Ocean Waves

On quilt tester Laura Boehnke's 16-block version, her triangle-squares are primarily a mix of blue and cream batiks. She substituted tan for dark brown in the block corners to create contrasting pinwheels. She also used a darker batik for the large triangles. Fabrics are from the Tonga Coco Berry collection from Timeless Treasures Fabrics.

Classic Blue Heirloom

Quilt tester Laura Boehnke put a twist on a classic two-color combination by choosing blue and gray for her wall hanging version of Canyon Trail. Darks, mediums, and lights provide a variety of contrast. Fussy-cutting an ikat print for the outer border gives the appearance of more intricate piecing without any additional work -- perfect when you want to save time but not scrimp on style! Fabrics are from the Heirloom collection from Dear Stella.

Art Deco Flower

Quilt tester Laura Boehnke used a single printed stripe to make the urn appliqué appear more intricate. When fussy-cutting, she centered the stripe to look like ornamentation. For greater definition of fused appliqué pieces and an Art Deco look, Laura outlined each one with a narrow black satin stitch. Fabrics are from the Saturday Afternoon collection by Jane Spolar of Quilt Poetry for Northcott.

Rustic Zigzag Wall Hanging

Quilt tester Laura Boehnke took the contemporary edge off Electric Slide with reproduction prints. To further modify the look, she laid out her triangle-squares at the quilt center, then mirrored her fabric choices on each half radiating out toward the top and bottom. The two halves' resulting mirror image creates a pleasing visual rhythm. Fabrics are from the Aubergine collection by Whistler Studios for Windham Fabrics.
