Bullfrog Boogie
47" square
Bullfrog Boogie*

Ready for a lively quilt project you'll be "hoppy" to display? Then stitch a pond filled with cavorting croakers!  Bullfrog Boogie has frolicking frogs putting their webbed feet together for a colorful country dance. Dive into the brightest of fabrics & colorful, zany scraps to craft this whimsical pieced design.  You'll be jumping with joy when you do the "Bullfrog Boogie."

   
Fox in the Hen House*

Take a second glance at this humorous quilt & you'll see there's a calamity going on in Farmer Brown's chicken coop!  There's been some "fowl" play in the hen house & this lip-licking "Fox in the Hen House" looks quite satisfied.  Measuring 68" x 78", an original patchwork block is the backdrop for this clever quilt that combines elements from Birds-in-the-Air & Log Cabin patterns.  Let's hope the good farmer can prevent Mr. Fox from indulging in a second course!

Friendship Junction quilt from Take Time To Quilt book
Friendship Junction
74" x 90"
Friendship Junction*

Friendship Junction is the beautiful result of a fabric exchange, the perfect way to add variety to your fabric collection.  Measuring 74" x 90", this scrap quilt is made from the traditional Road to Oklahoma block, using a combination of full & partial blocks.  Much of the visual interest comes from the border treatments, which turn an ordinary block into an extraordinary pieced quilt, while the bold stars are a secondary pattern that emerges when the blocks are joined. Celebrate your friendships & salute the "stars" in your life!

   
October Sky*

Capture the migration of geese during the golden days of autumn in this stunning combination of patchwork & appliqué.  Measuring 83" x 98", October Sky features five different quilt blocks: Star, Fan, Leaf, Tree & simple corner connectors.  The large sweeping arc of the fan block is easy to sew & the border blocks are very fast & easy to construct with our piecing method.  This glorious fall quilt will remind any viewer of the graceful cycle of life.

Swing Your Partner quilt from Take Time To Quilt book
Swing Your Partner
77" x 94"
Swing Your Partner

The swirling, twirling pattern on this beautiful quilt is Cathy's variation on the Virginia Reel block. Measuring 77" x 94", Swing Your Partner alters this traditional block to create pinwheels in the corners, providing a rhythmic sense of motion & a toe-tapping mood. To make an equally festive Christmas quilt from this pieced design, just substitute green fabrics for the blues.

Tumbling Snails

Cathy named this fun quilt after she offset the traditional Snail's Trail block & saw how this created the three-dimensional illusion of tumbling blocks. Measuring 58" x 78", this vibrant quilt gets its drama from the careful placement of color. To create your own Tumbling Snails quilt, choose your fabrics with light, medium & dark values for best effect.
