Blogger's Quilt Festival

I'm entering my quilt "Reflective Windows" in the Blogger's Quilt Festival on amyscreativeside.com in the "Original Designs" category.

I was inspired by the blue shimmer of city windows. Once I had designed the basic block, it was actually fairly easy to put together using strip piecing. The final quilt measures 48 inches square.

Depending on how fast I can finish up the binding, I might have another entry for this festival, too. Who knows?

Modern Quilt Guild Block of the Month

A quilt block I designed is featured as the Modern Quilt Guild's Block of the Month. You can find the pattern and an article on utilizing foreground/background in quilt design to give your quilts movement for MQG members only, here . The block is called "Mod economy square" and it has a ton of versatility! Playing with color placement can bring several different areas to the foreground. Just a few of the different quilt layouts you can make using this block:

Maryland flag quilt

Inspired by the angular lines of the Maryland flag, the design of which is based on the Calvert family's 17th century heraldic crest, I created this small wall hanging/crib quilt. The quilt uses solid fabrics in shades of yellow and white with black and red accents, and is finished with straight-line quilting. The finished piece will be donated to a local child through Baltimore Early Headstart.
