Featured Quilt - Beautiful Cubed Flowers

You've probably never seen flowers quite like these. Masako Tsuda used a fairly traditional idea for her quilt, some flowers through a window, put turned the idea on its head. Square Windows 3 was featured in the Abstract, Large category at Houston in 2019 and depicts its flowers in a very modern way. Masako says, "This piece features images of Cubism in modern art. I designed the hollyhocks in box shapes. There are many beautiful hollyhocks over the window." With beautiful free-motion quilting and machine appliqué, it's hard to tell if Masako grew the flowers in her studio or manufactured them in a factory.

What Will Yours Look Like?

Ricky's Kool Kaleidoscope quilt is a popular and very fun method for making a kaleidoscopic quilt without fussy cutting individual fabric prints. This strip-pieced quilt is quick, easy, and great for advanced beginners and beyond, and no two Kool Kaleidoscope quilts come out the same!

To add to the fun, we bought more than 150 fabrics to put together into 20 piece kits. EVERY SINGLE KIT includes a different mix of fabrics!

Grab a kit and join Ricky for our FREE Kool Kaleidoscope class starting July 26, 2021.

The Quilt Show Puzzle: Who's Looking at Who?

"The Strangest Vase That Ever Was" by Alethea Ballard

For The Strangest Vase That Ever Was, Alethea used fabric from the "Ghastlies" series, which features a sardonic family, to create this rather unusual quilt. If you look at each member of the family, and all around the quilt, someone always has their eyes looking at someone else. So you better keep an eye out, because someone's eye may just be on you.
