Anytime I start a quilt, the hardest decision is always color. There are so many combinations out there I want to try! For my Medallion Milestone quilt, the color choices were influenced by my newborn daughter. But I know not everyone will be making this for a baby. So I put together a few color combinations that I think look great on this quilt. I also coordinated it with Kona cotton swatches to give you an instant palette! Below is a muted Southwest inspired color palette. The cinnamon … [Read more...]

I think it would look super cute with this fabric line and would also be striking in bold, saturated solids. I've never made a quilt based completely on my own design before. It's … [Read more...]
