Refraction video tutorial and pattern
I make a lot of quilts. It is part of the job of being a pattern designer. I like them all, but I love Refraction. The quilt is deceptively simple. It uses strip piecing and a 60-degree ruler to create the the diamond shapes you see here. The quilt is made with a jelly roll […]

Easy & Fast Radiating Wavy Lines for a Custom Quilting Look – Burst Revisited
We got the fabric for this month’s quilt VERY late … just thank international shipping delays. So I had one week to design the pattern, sew the top, quilt it and release it to all of you! That meant I needed a fast and easy quilting design that would still look fabulous. So I went […]
