The time seems to go faster when the weather starts to warm up here in Minnesota. Your local quilt shop may be full of new fabrics to tantalize you right now!
So many quilters have generously shared their fabulous projects and are inspiration for you.
Susie created this springtime version of Comet Tails. She fused the circles and skipped the stitching around the circle. 20"x40".

Susie has a wonderful collection of small florals and did a colorful Slant table runner based on Idea #13 at the website. She did 3 rows rather than the 6 rows for her space. 16"x 42".
You need the Slant pattern for Idea #13.

Kim shared two quilts she pieced and quilted and both feature collections and themes. BQ2 with the flamingoes make me smile. It was made as a gift for someone who was crazy about them. 54" x 72".

Faye shared this spectacular Cool Corners tiger. 32" x 32". A panel is used for the center. Cool Corners is a border pattern with 2 paper pieced corners.
MIQ241 Cool Corners
Sara stitched this fun National Parks Cool Corners. The background colors are a perfect choice to compliment the center. Rectangle size 28" x32".
Ken pieced and quilted this BQ4 that is sure to make you smile with the fun Alexander Henry Wranglers fabric. He customized the project by making pieced stars for the centers of the smaller blocks and of course fussy cut the larger centers. The multicolored pieced border is such a nice tie- in for the project. 60" x 72" plus border.

Madonna shared this BQ2 with us. It is stunning in its high contrast. Don’t go searching for that fabulous center print in multiple colors. You know I was sure to ask what it was. She said it was from her stash and at least 10 years old. I am so glad she found the perfect pattern to showcase it! She plans a final brown border to finish. 24- 13 ½"blocks (4x6) 54" x 81" plus border.
We had a rainy spell here in Minnesota and Heide named this table runner, Rainy Day Rendezvous as a play on Ric Rac Rendezvous. She customized it by making the stripe insert in 2 colors rather than an accent and the center fabric. It is easy to make that change because the segments are a strip set. Heide pieced and quilted the project and made it to fit her space. It is nice to envision a project in real life! Heide does creative tablescapes throughout the year. Pattern size 11 ½” x 39”.
