Just In! Modern Applecore

I am so in love with this quilt!! I picked the fabrics and Jeanette and I made designed and made the it together. These giant sized apple cores are so much easier to put together than the traditional size. Plus Jeanette has come up with a foo proof method that even a beginner can handle: no pins! The pattern is a Piper’s original and comes with a template made from the same plastic as our rulers, fat quarters are the best for your fabrics. The patterns will be in the shop early next week. There is also a class in March if that interests you. Don’t be scared of these curves, you can do this!

Best Book: Dare to be Square

Dare to be Square Quilting is a fantastic new book from Boo Davis (love her name!).  The instructions in the book are geared towards a raw beginner so they are super easy to follow. There are 10 unique quilt patterns along with a bunch of fun accessories for home, bags, and softies. I love the modern feel of the quilt below and the simplicity of the colors. It reminds me a little of the Gee’s Bend quilts.

I truly want to make everything in this book. I am looking for lots of  boy quilts as of lately. I am pretty sure most little guys would go nuts for the robot quilt in this book. Seriously such a great and inspirational book!
