One of the first projects I picked up this month - when I finally had time to sew - is the Sweet Hearts Quilt. Read all about it on the AccuQuilt Blog.
I really enjoyed making it especially since AccuQuilt makes cutting those triangles so perfectly easy and precise. I love that the dog ears are removed, right at the start. I love that I can piece quarter square triangles together for the border and they come out the perfect size! I love that I didn't have to spend much time cutting and subcutting. Can you tell I love my AccuQuilt GO! Fabric Cutter???
Last year (before my little sewing hiatus), I made Prismatic from a couple of Northcott's Sandscapes jelly rolls and it is now available as an Exclusively Annie's quilt pattern from Annie's Catalog.

It was a lot of fun and easy to make, using non-traditional bargello methods. So fun and easy, I used the same methods to come up with Robin's Egg Blue, which is also in the same book.

Doesn't it remind you of southwestern turquoise and silver jewelry? I hope it does for that was my inspiration for it! Anyway, I can visualize this quilt in dramatic red, white and black, too.
For now, I have one more project to share with you - my Bollenvelden table runner that appears in Quilter's World Magazine Spring 2016 issue. Google assures me that "Bollenvelden" is Dutch for tulip fields and that's exactly what I was going for in this quilt.
