Make a leafy quilt inspired by the hills and forests of Central Italy. Designed and made by Tricia Revest

Early Spring

A simple scrap quilt, designed by Mavis Haslam and sewn using two traditional basket blocks - Cactus Basket and Basket of Chips - and only 3 templates

Spring Fever

This quilt uses just one traditional block called Evening Star (also known as Texas Star). However the clever placing of the colours and fabric creates a secondary pattern. Designed by Beth Ann Bruske and sewn by Lyn Oser Mann, it uses a collection of American fabrics from David Textiles. Here it looks very fresh and spring-like. However, it would also look quite dramatic and more like a sparkling night sky, if a selection of deep blues and purples were used with occasional flashes of lighter colours. Once all the patches are cut out, it is very fast to piece.

Rubies and Diamonds

a little gem of a quilt! This quilt is made using quilt-as-you-go and a stitch-and-flip method of construction; make up the blocks individually, trim to size and then use sashing to assemble the quilt

Jelly Roll rail fence

In the Pink

This quilt must be every young girl's dream.... every shade of pink and lilac and scattered with simple appliqued hearts. This was appliqued by hand but could easily be sewn by machine instead. Take just one or two squares and use for bags or cushions too.

Easy Quick Quilt
