Amaryllis Christmas by Betsy Wycislak, quilted by Valeria Greenwell.  

When choosing fabrics for a quilt, many experts start with the border. Here's a great example! Betsy Wycislak says that the amaryllis fabric (chosen for the border) inspired her to make the 2023/24 Bonnie Hunter Mystery quilt ("Indigo Way") into a Christmas quilt.  "It's the first Christmas quilt I've made, that I get to keep." Snippets of the amaryllis fabric can be seen in the centers of these blocks:

Wedding Stars

The Double Wedding Ring is the most popular pattern in the history of quilting, and the addition of stars takes the design to a new level. Here is a gorgeous Wedding Star quilt in blues and white with a flying geese border!

Blue Bayou by JoAnn Hinchliffe, quilted by Valeria Greenwell.  

 We love the gorgeous blue and white contrasts and ombre effects of the piecing in this wedding ring quilt! JoAnn Hinchliffe says, "I started this quilt in a class a long time ago.  I picked it up again years later and finished it, only to be very hesitant about how to quilt it. I finally realized my freehand quilting would not do it justice, so I asked Valeria Greenwell to quilt it for me (Valee G/Quilt Artistry). She did an amazing job. 

  JoAnn says: "As I was sewing on the binding, Linda Ronstadts' "Blue Bayou" came on the radio... and my quilt had its name!" Pattern source: Judy Niemeyer's Bali Wedding Star.
