I saw this quilt hanging in The Leavenworth Quilt Company a couple years ago. Fell in love with the colors. I bought the kit and put it together by doing all the stars the first year and assembling it the next. Love Ruthann’s quilting!

I played around with Electric Quilt to design my challenge entry.

I had fun designing applique sprays and quilting to go with the center challenge block

Overall quilting on a domestic machine is definitely a challenge.

One cleverly designed fabric created the varied kaleidoscope blocks and border. I designed and digitized the quilting patterns based on the designs in the fabric.

This quilt kit was a gift. An unsuspected surprise was I know, and had quilted for this designer. I designed and digitized the falling snowflake pantograph to coordinate.

I thought a Mariner's Compass would be a good challenge . . .then it turned into a challenge times 9. They needed a border, so Sotrm at Sea blocks seemed appropriate. Baclground and border quilting patterns have a wave theme and were designed by me.

Challenge accepted: hand guided edge to edge quilting. Fun!

INMOD Challenge using Moda 2025 Nocturne Fabric. Exploring open wild places beyond fences is good for our soul.

Challenge accepted even though it was a bit intimidating! I appreciate the structure of traditional piecing and quilting but also relish in the freedom and improvisation of modern quilting, I believe they can peacefully coexist.
