Instead of sulking when my husband had to work a long overtime shift on my birthday last year, I started a new quilt, based on a photograph of one from 1854. By the end of the week, my present to myself was done. It’s a scrappy two color quilt; each of the stars is a different dark blue print.

By: Bonnie Coleman, Florida, USA

Quilt was made from a kit, it was my first attempt of making a quilt from start to finish. I struggled at times, became so acquainted with my seam ripper, walked away a few time, but I never gave up. I made it for my Mother In Law as no one had ever made her a quilt and I wanted to be the first.

I use this super comfy quilt for my lap at work. It gets cold! I hand quilted the red inside the stars and machine quilted the sashing and the charm squares. I backed it with an old, soft blanket that makes it so cuddly! Pattern from Moda Bake Shop. This quilt just makes me happy.

Cinnamon Twist Cinnamon Twist
By: Pastimes Quilt Design, Utah, USA

I wanted to design a quilt that men might like. Since I am a “girly” girl most of my fabric and designs are feminine, cute, or flowery. I thought using browns and reds with no flowers might make it look more manly.

By: Lindy, Washington, USA

I love the challenge of challenge quilts! It frees me to try new methods, difficult blocks, unusual color schemes. Though I love the ‘no rules’ of art quilting, occasionally parameters (size, limited fabrics) help me stretch and grow as an artist. This has been one of my favorite quilts for 12 years

Machine pieced, hand appliqued and hand quilted. I love making and teaching others how to make star quilts. This one started out life as a class sample. The colors in the star dictated that the star points be placed on black background. Then I designed the appliques & fell in love with it.

This fun-to-make wallhanging is completely from scraps, except for the binding. It’s an improvisational quilt, without too much planning ahead. This was also my first time doing free-motion quilting, and I went for the gusto and stitched in gold metallic against a blue night sky. My original design.

In a book of antique quilts my husband got me were some pics of gorgeous Mariners Compass quilts. They said they were hard to make & true MC quilts had at least 48 points.

By: Lindsay Lefevere, Indiana, USA

When I started quilting, I used patterns, but quickly fell in love with the process of making up my own designs. The process of making this miniquilt was, by far, the most rewarding quilting experience I’ve had to date. I started with a sketch and just let my creativity guide me.

While helping my mother clean out her stash of 40 years, we came up with all these gold and browns from the 70’s. My nephew ask if I would make him a quilt and I thought these colors would be perfect. I meant it to be more random but the OCD side of me had to create stars. It is machine quilted.
