Time flies! I can’t believe it has been 10 years since I did a quilt-along with American Patchwork and Quilting for their 20th anniversary.
Fast forward to their 30th anniversary and I am honored and proud
to be featured….on the cover…
I am a newbie to using the quilt design software, Electric Quilt. To play with this I started adding a variety of nine patches, four patches and any similar block. I fell in love with the mathematic look of the quilt and knew I just had to make it.

Let’s skip to the good part. American Patchwork and Quilting is featuring my quilt as one of their 2023 QAL and they have a Facebook group you can join to play along. I am going to make another version of this quilt during this QAL using red, white and blues with my collection of Minick Simpson fabrics.

I love this and am definitely sewing along! You are my favorite scrap quilt designer! Congratulations!
Oh I love your idea of a red, white and blue version! Looking forward to sewing along!
I’m currently organizing all of my scraps by size and have been doing this for over a week. I’m almost to the finish line, just in time to make this beautiful quilt!
Will anyone be hosting this on video or YouTube or is this self guided?
Looking for the answers to the quilting acronym sheet. Want to use it at our next quilting fun day.
Thanks
