Too many little squares?  Looks can be deceiving.  Use your scraps and strips piecing to create this snappy quilt.  This quilt uses squares and triangles to make this scrappy delight.  Set the blocks on point and you have a great quilt that was "sew" easy to make.

Oh how we love our log cabin quilts!  This beautiful Americana quilt is made with one line of fabric, using 3 values, (dark, medium, and light) of red and blue fabrics each.  It uses the same background for the entire quilt.  Can you do this scrappy? Absolutely, using the values in different fabrics.  There are 4 different blocks used to make this quilt.  The blocks are a red, a blue, a border block and corner blocks.  It will "trick your eyes" when you realize the construction secrets!

Are you seeing stars or squares?  You can be a star when you create this beautiful scrap quilt of interlocking stars and squares.  Leftover fabric or charm squares are wonderful for making this quilt.

Watch out!  Augusta has her sleuthing shoes on again!  Take a chance to make a quilt that remains a mystery until you finish the last clue. This is a great chance to use fabrics from your stash.  You will see that you can create something beautiful without much planning beforehand.

And NOW, I have TWO NEW mysteries up my sleeve, so get ready!

Everyone loves stars!  Use your scraps to make the 16 snaps then frame with stars.  A New Original!  A square on point separate each star.

This quilt is so easy and yet so striking!  The Spinning Stars quilt is a wonderful quilt to put your stash to good use.  For this quilt to "pop" it helps to use a sharp contrast of lights and darks.  We will work on "value" as we get comfortable putting all our scraps together.  We will make precise split nine patch blocks, joining them to form our  Spinning Star.

This feathered star quilt probably has you wishing on a star that you too could make this beautiful quilt.  Lots of small pieces may have your head spinning, but with step-by-step instructions, this feathered star with saw tooth border turns out perfect every time.  You will be amazed how easily this design will go together.  Good templates or a rotary cutter will make your wish come true.  Large scale prints work well for making this design.  This is a 6 hour class.

The new rage!  These pinwheels are from a book by Eleanor Burns.  The pinwheel quilts of primary colors were created for my two grandsons. This design is perfect for making two matching quilts simultaneously. The one quilt is the mirror image of the other.  The third design has a dark center pinwheel with the mirror image on the corners or borders.  A great two for one deal!

This quilt has endless possibilities.  A stash of scraps and strip piecing is used to create this quilt.  Sew the strips onto a plain square and you have beautifully bordered squares.  Your next challenge will be to decide how you want to arrange the squares.  The plain centers can be used for a friendship block, applique, intricate quilting design, novelty print of a family album.  This design can be used to make a baby quilt, a wedding quilt, or an anniversary quilt.  The possibilities really are endless as you wander down the garden path.

This is a great quilt that helps you use your stash. It involves making one block, repeating that block, and arranging them in a pleasing design.  The block is made up of large half square triangle and 5 small half square triangles.  I hope you love making half square triangles.  You may choose to use all one background or a variety of different background fabrics.  The block finishes as a 6 inch square.  Look at your stash and throw in some "oldies" as well as your favorite colors.  

If you would like you may work with one color family including lights to darks, or remember red, white, and blue always works.

Wow!  Can you believe the comeback of the Log Cabin?  Some traditions are just too good to let go.  Now we have made it curve! The curves are created by using different size logs.  The logs can be made from your stash or with fat quarters or a combination of both. Beginners as well as advanced quilters are equally intrigued with this design.  The pattern possibilities for the log cabin are just endless, so come make your blocks and play with the plentiful designs.  See you at the curve!
