I’ve been working along on the Shining Star quilt by Suzy Quilts. this was fun for me because I haven’t done a lot of improv work. The improv blocks are a take-off on the Log cabin quilt block. The first picture is an example of a traditional Log Cabin quilt block and the second picture is my quilt top with four different improv quilt blocks (each of which are 20” square).

I’ll be taking my quilt to Amy my go-to longarm quilter. We’ve already picked out the quilting pattern and the thread.

My new mystery quilt block of the month will begin late this month (July) and run for 10 months. Here’s what the fabric will look like. I’ve fallen in love with green and I’ll bet this will look great.

My next project is Allie Owl by Elizabeth Hartman. I’ve had several of her quilts in my lineup for quite a while and I think I’m ready to tackle it. Here’s her conception of Allie Owl. If you’d like to see how others interpret her design take a look at Instagram #AllieOwl
