Modern quilt teacher and patterns
When I first designed the Stellar quilt for AccuQuilt, I just knew that the background needed to be scrappy so as to give that night sky feel with darker and lighter patches of sky. I used a variety of solid blues with one marbled blue print to give some extra dimension and texture in each of the quilt blocks. Block 10… Read More
And so my friends, the time has come to finish our Sunset Isle quilts! And one final check in on Instagram on #sunsetislequilt. Month 12 The final row is similar to the first row of Sunset Isle – the whole quilt has a touch of symmetry to it from top to bottom, and that’s the way I like it… uh… Read More
Another month and another row added to our Sunset Isle quilts and another check in on Instagram on #sunsetislequilt!

Anyhow, block 11 is another sawtooth-esque star, with a twist on the flying geese. Quite literally! Download the free pattern for Block 11 here We can’t wait to… Read More
Another month and another row added to our Sunset Isle quilts and another check in on Instagram on #sunsetislequilt. MONTH 9 The row for this month features quarter-square triangles, or QSTs. You will see in the pattern that QSTs are made from two half-square triangles. I made mine with the same print-HST pairs, but you could easily mix it up… Read More
Another month and another row added to our Sunset Isle quilts! There’s been a fun flurry of activity on Instagram on #sunsetislequilt (see below). Not to mention being able to take this gorgeous photo of three Sunset Isle quilts together while on quilting retreat a couple of weeks ago.

Whirling and twirling, this quilt block is a fun one using the parallelogram die from the AccuQuilt QUBE set. These ones always trick me at first with how to orient them when piecing the half-square triangle pieces to the ends, but thankfully I didn’t need to pull out the seam ripper on this one.
