Sometimes the catalyst for a totally new direction in quilting simply comes down to vacation photos. Building a design using the fundamental shape of a square became the inspiration for Gyleen’s venture into the Modern world. But Gyleen, as always, has made the process more streamlined and completely her own. She shows a grid system that allows you, the quilter, to design anything you like using basic building blocks that play well together. But wait, there’s more. Gyleen even shares a fast and calculating way for you to make an interesting and unique quilt back using your stash. That leaves money for new fun fabrics. She’s a gal after any quilter’s heart.
The Queen of Kaleidoscopes, Paula Nadelstern, is back to teach a new method for making complex-looking quilts. She uses easy piecing quilting techniques.

This is not a new idea, as Julie Silber, the Queen of Antique Quilts, shares a variety of diverse antique quilts all featuring designs based on simple squares.
