Chintz Fantasy
Finished Quilt Size: 92½˝ x 92½˝
Since the large bird print used in the outer border is directional, Kathie cut her side borders on the lengthwise grain, and the top and bottom border strips on the crosswise grain. She pieced the top and bottom borders with diagonal seams, a trick that makes the seams nearly invisible in the large design motif. We’ve included enough yardage so you can do likewise, if you wish.

Illusion
Finished Quilt Size: 57½˝ x 67½˝
This lovely quilt is made with just one block and two fabrics. Elegant but easy, this pattern lends itself to an infinite number of fabric pairings. Take a Saturday and whip one up for that perfect Mother’s Day present or wedding gift!

Be My Sweetheart
Finished Sizes: 2 Place Mats 14¼˝ x 19¼˝; 2 Napkins 13˝ x 13˝
Prepare a romantic Valentine meal complete with red and white table settings just for the two of you. It’s fast and easy and sure to be a hit!

Firecracker
Finished Quilt Size: 75˝ x 87˝
Dolores and Sarah designed this firecracker of a quilt to take advantage of all of the wonderful patriotic prints available now. We’ve listed the fabrics by their predominant color, but all of the fabrics in the quilt are a combination of red, white, and blue. Also, Sarah and Dolores chose to include one mottled fabric of each color; do likewise if you wish.

Pesto Presto
Finished Quilt Size: 60½˝ x 60½˝
Vibrant and bold, this quilt adds a fresh feeling to any room. If you’ve been collecting black and white fabrics, then you’ll love this stash-smashing pattern. Notice that Ann chose to substitute several white-on-white squares for white/black medium print/texture squares. Do likewise if you wish.

Harvest Table
Finished Table Runner Size: 12⅞˝ x 37⅝˝
Tuck Me In
Finished Quilt Size: 47½˝ x 56½˝
Bright and bold, this quickly-pieced quilt is finished with a purchased ruffle. Ruffled quilt binding comes in a limited number of colors, so choose your binding first and then select fabrics that complement your ruffle color.
