Les Fleurs de Kaffe, made and quilted by Katherine Verbeke.  

Katherine Verbeke explains the emotional and symbolic connections people have with flowers. The use of floral fragrances has a rich history dating back to ancient Egypt and Rome, where scents were associated with beauty, purity and the divine. Pattern source: Fourteen on Point by Hunter's Design Studio. 

Seed Packet quilt by Pat Morris, quilted by Athena Taylor  

This glorious quilt was based on a kit by Glorious Color, comprising lots of large fussy cut pink and red fabrics from the Kaffe Fassett Collective.  It is machine pieced and longarm machine quilted. What a lovely way to feature these floral fabrics.

Hot Stuff, made and quilted by Joyce Harrison.  

So many fun Kaffe Fassett classics were used in this fun quilt! This English paper pieced quilt is an original by Joyce Harrison, who says: "The more I made hexies, the more I wanted and the longer it became. I had to stop at some point.  EPP is calming to sew... I didn't use my sewing machine for 6 months!"  

 Plaidy Cake by Pat Morris, quilted by Athena Taylor.  

Here is a beautiful summery "woven" quilt design! Pat Morris says that she made this scrappy quilt using a partial quilt kit and fabric from her stash, including lots of beautiful blue and green favorites from Kaffe Fassett Collective. Pattern source: Plaidy Cake by Cluck Cluck Sew.

Windham Fabrics 2025 Challenge (2)

One of the top exhibits at the recent QuiltCon show was the Ruby+Bee fabric challenge. The featured speaker for this show, Tara Faughnan, selected six beautiful solids from the fabric collection. Quilters were instructed to use from 3 to 6 colors in the palette to create their quilt. It was so much fun to see this modern quilt show!

Cicada Invasion - See ya in 17 years! by Dawn Nelson (Texas) @dawnnelsondowns 

We love insect quilts including bees and butterflies... but we've never seen a cicada quilt! This original concept and design by Dawn Nelson was inspired by the 2024 invasion of Cicadas which emerge every 17 years.  Dawn used variegated thread on the wings to create translucent effect, then darker thread to provide definition around each cell.  Beautiful!  The background quilting depicts the sound waves these creatures emit. 

Dawn Nelson says, "Cicada Invasion was submitted with the encouragement of the women in my family whose artistry and quilting skills far surpass mine."  It was machine pieced, and machine quilted on a longarm machine and a domestic machine.

Standing Tall by Maureen Logan (Pennsylvania)  

 A member of the Lancaster (PA) Modern Quilt Guild, Maureen Logan says: "My quilts are always inspired by small doodles I make. This one started with the red diamond and then repeating the shape below it.  Color, pattern and repetition make this an eye-catching visual."

Maureen added the triangle border to continue your eye traveling vertically through the quilt.  Machine pieced, machine quilted without a frame (domestic) using a walking foot.

Fibonacci in Fabric by Cathy Martin (Alabama) @thecatbird

Cathy Martin says, "The beauty of the Fibonacci Sequence (0,1,1,2,3,4,8...) in nature fascinates and intrigues me.  I wondered how a linear expression of the sequence would appear using "interwoven" fabric blocks --- imagine my delight when I discovered that if each color follows the sequence from left to right and also from top to bottom (or R-to-L, Bottom-to-top) it forms a simple-but-lovely plaid.  How cool is that?!"

Red/light blue-gray threads were chosen for the quliting to highlight the mathematic pattern.  It was machine pieced and quilted on a domestic machine.

Woven by Kathie Miller, quilted by Tawnya Freeman

Kathie Miller says, "I think I must have wanted to be a weaver but couldn't master that whole loom and yarn thing.  Even better is creating a quilt that looks woven, especially on the diagonal.  I love the happy all-over quilting design that Tawnya [Freeman] picked to complement and complete my quilt." 

The pattern source for "Woven" is "The Libby Quilt" by Erica Jackman for Kitchen Table Quilting.
