Lone Star
This design features a Lone Star block also known as the Star of Bethlehem, Bethlehem Star and Texas Star. It is one of the oldest and most recognizable blocks in quilt history and one that has always fascinated me. This year I decided to give it a try myself and I'm very pleased with the outcome. The color combinations are endless, each one just as dramatic as the next.

Oh My Stars
Just when I thought I couldn't come up with another design using the Variable Star block, this one popped into my head and onto my design tablet. I absolutely love the "scrappy" feel of this quilt with its simple lattice border and accent buttons in the corners. It's at the top of my "Favorites" list right now.

Flying Pinwheels
I'm always looking through quilt books, calendars, catalogs, etc. for inspiration from traditional quilt blocks. The Pinwheel block is one of the most fun blocks to do, with many different designs from which to choose. I designed this quilt using the Pinwheel block derived from the Flying Geese block , thus the name Flying Pinwheels. I think it's my favorite Pinwheel block now.

Flying Pinwheel
Flying Pinwheel is made up of a single Flying Pinwheel block. When I was working on the four-block version, Flying Pinwheels, I decided that a quilt made up of just one of these blocks would be great also.

Old School Traditions
The traditional Schoolhouse quilt block has always been one of my favorite old blocks. I am always attracted to antique quilts featuring this block, especially those done in reds and whites. While looking through some of my favorite quilt books, I was inspired to design my own version of a traditional Schoolhouse quilt. My version includes a little Variable Star embedded in the center of the quilt and a star button added to each Schoolhouse. I think it pays humble homage to a timeless tradition.

Farmer's Daughters
The Farmer's Daughter block has long been one of my favorites. It's hard to say just exactly how this block got its name, but it sure seems to strike a chord with many of us girls born and raised in the country. In this new design, I decided to feature three Farmer's Daughter blocks and have fun working with different colorways of same fabrics. I think it nicely accentuates the block design and results in a lively and colorful little quilt.

Grandmother's Fans
The Grandmother's Fan block, with its curved piecing, presents a technical challenge to some of us quilters, but the result is well worth the effort. An endless number of beautiful color arrangements can be created. With this design, I decided to feature just one favorite color arrangement and repeat it six times. As I had hoped, it nicely captured the wonder and nostalgia of this fun traditional quilt block.

Grandmother's Fan
I just couldn't resist featuring the beauty and simplicity of the Grandmother's Fan block in a single block quilt. It's my small tribute to all the beloved grandmothers in the world, including my own.

Dancing Star
Stars, in any configuration, top my favorite quilt block list. This star design takes advantage of the three dimensional effect achieved by using different color values. It consists of two offset Friendship Stars done in different fabrics. The result is a spinning or 'dancing' movement which, to me, seems magical.

Radiant Star
This quilt features the wonderful Star-in-a-Star block turned on-point. I kept the design very simple and limited the color scheme to just two strong colors. I think it nicely demonstrates the "less is more" concept.

9-Patch Star
The 9-Patch Star block is also known as the Farmer's Daughter block. While working on a 'Farmer's Daughter' quilt one day, I was struck by how dramatically different the block looked when turned on-point. Doing a little something different with the border further changed the overall look of the block.
