Patterns are listed in the order they were created, with the newest ones at the top!
CheckMate
Small accent squares give the look of a frame and put the focus on the 6"center squares.
Make the background light or dark but let the accents shine.
The pattern has 4 sizes of table runners and placemats for a bonus.
The pattern uses a 2 ½" finished border but the runners look good with no border or a narrow border; room for each quilter to make their own decision.
Sizes of runners with borders: 17" x 35", 41", 47" or 59".
With no border they are 12" x 30", 36", 42" or 54". Placemats: 12" x 18".
BQ5 Encore
Small off center focus with a flat top pinwheel. One center fabric or many!
9" blocks and 4 ½" blocks. These are half size and quarter size of the original BQ5.
2 quilt sizes with the 9" block. 12 blocks:27" x 36" (with optional border 33"x 42") and 20 blocks: 36" x 45". Both are great sizes for kids quilts or lap quilts.

A fat quarter makes 1 of each block size.
6 ½"x 42" strip makes 1 of each block size.
3 ½"x 42" strip makes 2 small blocks.
BQ DoubleTime
Put a BQ frame around the top and another around the bottom for BQ DoubleTime. Choose something special for the center and frame it with dark, light and accent. Optional inner border (shown on the larger) is included for both sizes. The smaller size is fat quarter friendly. We used the center of a panel for the center of the larger table runner.
We like Pellon Fusible Fleece 987F or Fusible Thermolam Plus TP971F as the batting on table runners because it is so thin. 18” x 27” or 18” x 44”.
Splitz
These table runners are bold, asymmetrical and make such a fun statement for your table. The easy angle segment creates the diagonal look. The projects go together very quickly using a dark, light and accent. The setting triangles are slightly oversized so you can be sure the points of the squares will be there after stitching. An option for batting is Pellon Fusible Fleece 987F or Fusible Thermolam Plus TP971F. We like the thinness of these two products for our table runners.
Perfect small projects for a seasonal look to your table. 13 ½" x 34", 13 ½" x 43 ½" and 13 ½" x 52".
Stripeplicity
If you are a fan of stripes, you will have great fun with Stripeplicity. Fast and fun to put together making it a great project for gift quilts for babies and kids.

The cover quilts show all 3 sizes.
Diva4
Sleek lines with a tiny accent will showcase the center of your project. Elegant and dramatic, this border will keep the focus on the center. As the lines get longer toward the outside edge, the corners take on a perspective of distance. Looks great with horizontal panels also. Panels 24"x 44", 36"x 44" or yardage. The quilts finish at 38"x 58" or 50"x 58".
BQ6
Big off center focus set off by bracket frames. 4 quilt sizes in 18" blocks. Looks great with one center fabric or many. Rotate the block for different looks as shown on the 12 block lap size cover projects.

Bonus layout using 6 blocks is at the Ideas button above; #10. Turn 6 blocks into a 64x84 project.
A reminder that to fussy cut the centers will usually require more fabric that listed. Quilts: 36"x 36" wall, 36"x 54" small lap, 54"x 72" generous lap and 90"x 108"queen.
Cool Corners

Paper piecing experience assumed. Consumer draws the foundation; see supply list.
Scooch Over 1
Split the framed center and scooch it over to showcase the centers. The two sizes of frames keep your eyes moving throughout the quilt. You can build the quilt with one center fabric or many. 1 FQ will make 2 centers; it is easy to raid your collection. If you need a quick baby quilt for a gift, this is for you!
3 projects and a bonus lap size project that uses only one Block 1.
Crib 36” x 48” (cover), Large Lap 54” x 72” (cover) and Queen 90” x 96”. Blocks are 12” x 18” and we have included directional fabric tips.
Scooch Over 2
The centers are split but now there are bold columns with a shifting focus! One block, 12” x 18” creates the fun. Use FQs for these multi fabric projects: 2 centers from each FQ for the larger projects.
3 projects: Crib 36” x 48”, Large Lap 54” x 72” (cover) and Queen 90” x 96”.
The bonus projects are a mini version of the block, 6” x 9” and those centers can be cut from the leftovers of the large blocks or your scrap bag or F8s or other precuts.
Wall 31” x 40” or a crib sized project 40” x 52”. Directional fabric tips included.
BQ5
Big off center focus with a pinwheel or accent splash. The pinwheels are a flat top diagonal which doesn’t require matching of sharp points. Use one center fabric or many.
The pattern includes 2 block sizes, 18” with a 12” center or 13.5” with a 9” center, perfect for pre-cuts.
There are 3 quilts in each block size. 18” block: 36” x 36”, 54” x 72”, 90” x 108”.

Two very different layout options as seen on the cover.
Diva3
Create a fun border for panels or yardage using our Inventive Curved Cutting technique. This is rotary cut and machine stitched …a freehand cut that swoops and undulates, framing the center but not overwhelming.
The pattern includes a Tutorial page to walk you through the technique and give you the confidence to become a quilter with curves. Centers are panels 24” x 44” or yardage of ½ yd. and ¼ yd.
3 different border looks that all finish 34-35” x 51-54”.
HotSticks
The small angled stick creates a pinwheel movement. Use Fat Quarters or ¼ yd. cuts for the blocks.
A great project for using what you have! Each FQ or ¼ yd. will make 2 – 10” blocks. 4 quilt sizes:
Crib 39” x 40” cover, Lap 49” x 60” cover, Twin 69” x 90” and Queen 99” x 100”. The scrappy border on 2 sides uses the remainders from the FQs. The pattern includes an alternate border for the 3 larger sizes; still using the remainders of the FQs.
Diva2
More bold drama to showcase panels (24” x 44”) or yardage. Many of the panels available are so stunning you only need to support the panel with a simple frame. We’ve added a bold diagonal to catch the eye but Diva 2 lets the panel do the talking.
You will find it easy to customize for your diva fabric in one of the three versions included.
The finished size of your project will be 34 - 37” x 53 - 55”.
: ) Wobble
A quilt with movement in many directions. The large centers going diagonally down, the small squares moving diagonally up and the partial frames making a right angle. Cut the 8 ½” centers from fat quarters, quarter yards, precuts or fabrics from your collection. The framed squares are easy to build with strip sets.
The fun is arranging the color flow.
The pattern has 4 quilt sizes and makes a 14” block.
Lap (on cover) 48” x 62” has a border, other quilt sizes are borderless. Twin (cover) 70” x 98”, Queen 98” x 98” and King 112” x 112”. The framed squares are easy to build with strip sets. The fun is arranging the color flow.
Destination
You can look good with your goods wherever you go with Destination. Use a denim or canvas weight 54” wide fabric for this one piece bag & handle and fuse some fun onto the bag surface! We like Crossroads Denim for the beautiful colors and very sew able feel. The denim has been pre-washed so there are no surprises later. The paper pattern is full size for quick and easy cutting.
The bag has a simple facing for the handles; no lining because the denim looks good on both sides and we used French seams (explained in the pattern) for the side seams to enclose the raw edges. Indulge your love of color as you choose something fun to fuse onto the bag.
The bag is 24” from the handle to 1 ½” flat bottom and 18 ½” wide. You’ll need 2/3 yd. of 54” denim or home décor weight fabric, ½ yd. of cotton for the facing and a piece of something that you can fussy cut and fuse onto the bag.
It’s the perfect gift for many – embellish with your friend’s favorite flowers or use theme fabrics for something very special.
In-Step
In-Step puts the focus on the fabric as the lines continually move across and down the quilt. These projects are all about the centers; pick favorite colors or prints, accent with a dark and light strip set and enjoy the result.
There are 2 block sizes: Lap (cover) 45” x 69”, twin 72” x 87” and queen 99” x 105” use the full block size. Each FQ yields 2 centers. For the mini size block, a FQ’s yield is 4 centers and the pattern has 2 projects: a wall or table topper 36” x 40” and a generous child sized quilt, 36” x 52”. The pattern also includes the centers done with yardage. In-Step could also be a setting pattern for applique or embroidery blocks, T-Shirt projects or orphan blocks and charity sewing projects.
Concentricity
Make a strong statement with Concentricity. Your eyes are drawn to trace the path of the dark lines radiating out from the center. Pull the color out to the corner for a fabulous finish. The wall or table topper is 36” x 36”. The generous lap quilt is 63” x 76 ½” and can be made with or without the sashing. Create these designs with simple and easy to piece partially framed squares.
Quilts are 36” x 36” and 63” x 76 ½”.
Echo
Straight lines create an undulating shape as they echo through these projects. Make 1-2-3 blocks for the wall or the table. Bonus instructions for turning 1 block into a pillow. Can you picture 3 - 18” pillows in contrasting colors on your sofa? Made with strip sets and high contrasting fabrics.
18” x 18”, 22” x 22”, 18” x 36”, 18” x 54”.
Tangent
We have always had fun with stripes here at Maple Island and we were especially excited about this fabric from Michael Miller – the Indo Ikat Collection. Very wide two color stripes that are a printed looking Ikat. The pattern includes strip sets for you to make if you can’t find a stripe that you like. The optical illusion from the dark and light is fun to see on your table or wall!
The projects are made with 60 degree equilateral triangles and they stitch up quickly. We used an 8 ½” x 24 ½” ruler with the 60 degree lines for both the strip cutting and the triangle cutting.
Start with 1 ½ yds. of a stripe, cut your strips the length of the fabric; you can make multiple projects from the yardage or use the remainder for backing.
Three projects 11” x 46”, 17” x 44”, 17” x 27”.
Diva
A dramatic and bold border pattern for a panel (24” x 44”) or a ½ yd cut of something special. The pattern includes cutting for panels that don’t quite square up to the size given. The long skinny angled cut is easy to do and the rounded corners add a surprising finish to the edges.
Nearly everyone owns a piece of diva fabric-very special and wants to stand alone but needs a bit of support to finish strong.
35” x 52” or 35” x 54”.
BQ4
Another big quilt for large print fun. We’ve changed it up by mixing squares and rectangles. Blocks are 12”x12” and 12”x24”. Centers are off center of course. You can cut 2, 3, or 4 centers from each Fat Quarter or use the same fabric for all blocks. The pattern has the fabric requirements for both yardage and FQ’s. Pattern includes two layouts and five quilt sizes – wall/crib to queen.
24”x36”, 60”x72”, 96”x108”, 36”x48”, 72”x96”.
Arrow
Flashback to bargello, but choose your fabrics a bit differently for an updated look. Stitches quickly and accurately with a strip set plus cut to size background pieces. The pattern includes optional instructions for using the Quilt As You Go method of quilting….when you have finished piecing your project it has been quilted and is ready to bind. Solids, prints and stripes will all create very different looks making this a fun project to explore color and value.
30” x 37”, 19 ½” x 37” and 19 ½” x 31”.
Pi2
Channel your inner math geek with this fun shape that looks like it’s math symbol namesake! You can dig into your FQ collection for this project or use yardage for the lighter background. Shown on the cover is the small lap, 42” x 54” that uses 6 FQ dark and 6 FQ light and the larger lap, 51” x 72” which calls for 9 FQ dark and yardage for the background light. Prints, solids, batiks all make a great statement. Blocks are 12” x 9” and are fun to rotate to make the quilt your own design.
Four sizes, 42” x 54”, 51” x 72”, 63” x 90” twin, 93” x 108” queen.
Spark
Bands of color across the quilt, squares of color going down the quilt! What a fresh look. Quick, easy and sure to be a hit with anyone wanting a very sleek look.
The pattern also contains the instructions on making a duvet cover with Spark as the top of the duvet cover. Duvets are so popular right now and Spark makes it easy to create your own. There are 3 sizes of duvet covers, 2 Twin sizes (one is extra wide) and Queen.
We’ve used Pellon Down Alternative Comforters as the insert for the duvet and 108” wide backing as the back side of the duvet.
Think of how many quilt tops you have that could easily be turned into duvet covers – you could change up the look of a bedroom so quickly with a new duvet cover!
3 sizes of quilts - Lap 54” x 66”, Twin 66” x 90” and Queen 90” x 102”.
Inversion
Simple piecing with strip sets, rotation of the blocks, a bold accent and a border on 2 sides make this quilt fun to do and really fun to look at. The 12” block uses a 9” center, big enough to showcase something special and also could be cut from a pre-cut 10” square. The pattern also has optional yardage for those than need the border on all 4 sides!
The pattern has 4 sizes, wall-36” x 36”, lap-48” x 60” (shown on the cover of the pattern), twin-66” x 90” and queen - 90” x 102”.
Comet Tails
The surprising circular ends keep your eye moving across this sleek modern lap quilt and generous table mat. We’ve used a fast and fun raw edge technique to create the circular ends. The pattern has a lap quilt, 40” x 62” and a large table mat, 20” x 40”.
The pattern contains reproducible circles (3”, 4”, 6”, 8”) or you can use a circle cutting tool.
You will want to choose fabrics that hide the piecing seams to duplicate the look of the cover projects.
The table mat is great for seasonal or holiday projects.
40” x 62” and 20” x 40”.
Bagavond
I do quite a few one night stays visiting with my Mom and other friends and wanted a bag big enough to hold what I need for just one night. Because I always have work with me, it will hold your electronics or file folders. The bag has extra large outside pockets and inside pockets that are shallow for the phone charger or other small things. You can use 4 fabrics as shown on the cover or mix it up and use up to 7 fabrics (see gallery).
The bag is 14” wide, 16” tall and 7” deep with a fun extra wide handle that is pleated to fit on your shoulder as you go from the car to your destination.
Have a good trip!
Stackables 2
We’ve been receiving lots of requests for a fat quarter quilt that would work with the bundles of fat quarters that come from new collections or a bundle put together from your favorite shop. Often when working with a collection there are too many mediums and not enough contrast but with the edge fabric defining the blocks there is no problem letting each fabric speak. There are 4 sizes from wall to queen. The quilt on the cover is the lap size and has a checkerboard border as does the wall size. The twin and queen do not have a border for a very modern, clean look. Yardage for the edge fabric but the rest of the quilt is all fat quarters for these 9” blocks. Many of you will be able to work from your collection at home to create this fun quilt.
Wall - 36” x 45”, Lap - 45” x 63”, Twin - 72” x 90”, Queen - 90” x 99”.
Stackables 1
A bold, quick and easy design that can be done with just 2 fabrics plus an accent edge or one main fabric combined with multiple background pieces and an edge fabric. The blocks look like they are stacked onto each other as they move down the row. The pattern has 2 sizes, lap and queen with 10 different ways to choose your fabrics, from one row fabric, background fabric and edge up to 4 row fabrics and multiple fat quarters for the background. 9” blocks.
Lap 48” x 66” (shown on cover) or Queen 84” x 102”.
Kard Keeper
Where do you carry all those extra cards – loyalty shopping cards, gift cards and others? Mine were either on my desk at home (forgotten) or in the bottom of my bag wrapped in a large purple rubber band. The Kard Keeper is stylish storage for those extra cards. It is a little fabric pocket secured with a hair elastic. Fun to do with a tiny bit of fabric and perfect for gift giving. You can jazz them up with beads, crystals, baby ric rac or fancy stitching and trim the edges with a specialty rotary blade or pinking shears. As a mother of boys, I had no idea there were so many fun ways to secure hair or the Kard Keeper! With a small pleat on the bottom the Kard Keeper can expand to hold up to 30 cards. The pattern is a jumbo postcard, pictures on one side and instructions on the back side.
Finished size about 2 ¾” x 4 ¾”.

Ric Rac Rendezvous
I’ve been a Ric Rac fan for many years; all sizes and colors. The new maxi jumbo ric rac now available in so many colors really caught my attention. Our new Ric Rac Rendezvous table runner is fun to do and will make you smile.
It is a bit different because it uses Pellon Décor Bond instead of batting resulting in a flat but supple runner that looks like something you would find at a high end boutique. With no binding or quilting it is quickly done and perfect for all occasions, including gifting!
Two styles; make a pieced insert or use a printed stripe in place of the pieced insert. Then have fun with ric rac to finish. The pattern includes stitching tips for ric rac. Be sure and look at the gallery for more looks.
Two styles both 11 ½” x 39”.
Jagged Edges
With so many of us trying to use our previously purchased fabrics and our beloved scraps, what could be better than a multi-fabric project with bold design lines and a fun border? You can purchase Fat 8ths or Fat Quarters for the two different sizes of rectangles or you can use whatever you have – this is a project that looks great with as many different fabrics as you want to use, including the remainders of strip rolls and many different pre-cuts. The Jagged Edges of the triangles and the border segments are from an easy stitch and flip. This would be a great project to take on retreat.
There are 4 different quilt sizes, Wall - 36” x 40”, Lap (cover) - 48” x 64”, Twin (cover) 64” x 82” and Queen - 96” x 106”.

Celebrate has been a favorite for many years because it is such a fun way to use stripes and a very good way to become more comfortable with stripes. Many of you know that I’m always partial to stripes and enjoy introducing everyone to striped fun; it was well past time to update the pattern and keep the stripe fun coming. We’ve added a 2 block wall or large table topper size to the crib and lap sized quilts. There are such varied and wonderful stripes out there for us to choose for our projects. Celebrate will accommodate any type of stripe and give you quick and exciting results.
Wall/table mat 25” x 41”, Crib 36” x 48” and Lap 48” x 64”.
Dancing
Begin with squares, double diagonal cut and finish with a row of dancing triangles that have the raw edges bound with decorative stitching. No templates, this is a technique I call overstitching. Easy to design your own look, make all the rows different or repeat some fabrics. This pattern is also in the book, Dancing Quilts from Straight Pieces.
