I was contacted earlier this year to see if I'd like to be a part of 'Scrap Lab' design challenge. The challenge is for three designers to create a project using one bundle of fat quarters. The other two designers are Jeni Baker and Sherri McConnell who nailed it with their designs!
Do those colors look familiar? Not only was I asked to participate in the challenge, but the bundle they picked was my March Madness bundle of "Prosecco & Cream by the Sea'! How about that?!

I designed 'Quarter Turn' using 18" half log cabin blocks. The asymmetrical design takes a traditional block and turns it on it's head! My main goal was to show off the beautiful colors and I think I accomplished that.

The quilting is simply done using straight lines around three off the blocks and 1/2" diagonal lines in the corner. Simplicity is the best way to go when your on a tight schedule!
I would have liked to play a little more with the quilting, but I'll save that for the next one!
Earlier this summer I had a beautiful Coral Hibiscus blooming and couldn't resist placing the quilt next to it for a photo.
If being asked to participate in Scrap Lab and being on the cover wasn't enough to put me over the moon with excitement...this quilt is also going to be displayed at Quilt Market in Houston! If you happen to be attending look for my quilt! I'd love to see how it's displayed!
I'm hoping to get my hands on a copy of the magazine! It doesn't happen often that I'm in print, but when it does I get a little excited about it!
