Featured Quilt - Autumn is Here Along with a Beautiful Quilt

This beautiful quilt by Nancy Hershberger of Breezewood, Pennsylvania is a wonderful representation of the change of seasons.

Nancy's quilt is machine pieced and machine appliquéd and is also an award-winner, taking 1st Place - Innovative at the 2021 Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival. Just look at the quilt and you'll be transported to the lovely Tennessee countryside.

The Quilt Show Puzzle: A Quilt With a Lot of "Flare"
"Solar Flare" by Lynn Carson Harris

Solar Flare is a string quilt. Lynn played with the layout for a long time trying out various settings. One weekend her son came home from school and asked if he could play around with the design. Lynn came into her sewing room and discovered a huge starburst filling the wall. She tweaked it a bit and added a few more fabrics to end up with the final result.

See more of Lynn's quilts in How to Use Your Fabric Scraps with Lynn Carson Harris.
