Monday Madness – From Black & White to A Riot of Color

Monday Madness – anything goes!  An eclectic selection of patterns & projects . . . .

If you want a striking, dramatic quilt you just might find one (or a dozen!) in Black & White Quilts by Kay M. Capps Cross.   Whether you are a beginner, an old pro, or somewhere in the middle, this book will have a project for you.  There are 12 designs and along with the instructions there are tips for adding a little extra sprakle.

Hot Pot Kitchen Set has instructions for flannel chenille “hot stuff”.   Give your kitchen a lift with new colorful coasters, pot holders and hot pad.  These are great for gifts too.  A little bonus: purchase of the pattern also entitles you to make 2 dozen items a year to sell at craft fairs.

This stained glass  Hummingbird by Edna Trunt will hold still long enough for you to enjoy his beauty.  Finishes at 22″ x 20″.

 

Berries And Cream is a classic red & white quilt inspired by French Enamelware.  Finishing at 92″ it has a collection of red prints paired with muslim.

A traditional feathered star has been stretched to make this quilt perfect for your bed.  North By North by Vicky Lawrence has instructions for piecing in quarter sections for easier construction.
 

Use your scraps to make these Quilted Coins.  Little coin purses (3″ x 3.5″) close with velcro.  Perfect for little gifts.  If you’re giving someone a quilt wouldn’t it be fun to use the leftovers so they have this little piece of the quilt to carry around with them?

Crimson Rambler can’t help but catch your eye.  Bright prints are used for pineapple blocks that are made with perfect points and NO paper piecing!  Two options are given for the border – flowers or flying geese.
