What inspires you first… Â fabric collections or the quilt design? I must admit that I’m drawn to bright colors of fabric in precuts like jelly roll strips, fat quarter bundles, charm packs, and layer cake stacks. You’ll notice that many of my new quilt patterns are designed for precut fabrics, scraps, and fabric squares.
Make sure you take advantage of the search box in the sidebar to search the archives for a specific pattern or quilt block.
