What attracts you to a quilting project? Is it the design? The colors?<br />
The technique? Chances are, it’s a little bit of everything, including<br />
that hard-to-describe initial impression of “I love it!” You’ll find plenty<br />
of variety in this issue—from a big block quilt design to a super simple<br />
table runner, and fun zippered pouches.<br />
We’re also thrilled to introduce you to Amy Friend and her new<br />
collection, Improv. Turn to p. 4 to learn more about Amy and her work,<br />
see the entire fabric line on p. 27, and then play around with her improv<br />
paper piecing technique in the Mod Triangles pattern on p. 6. And if<br />
you’re new to paper piecing, don’t worry—we have a beginner’s guide<br />
for you!<br />
Browse through our Gallery beginning on p. 25 to see our latest<br />
modern-leaning fabric lines (including those used in projects in this<br />
issue!) and don’t miss the free pattern links on p. 24. Sit back with your<br />
apple cider or pumpkin spice latte and enjoy all the inspiration this new<br />
issue has to offer!<br />
