The large floral print with a visiting bee is my favorite.
I think it likely that you will love it as much as I do.

Let me introduce you to Kyoto Steps. Kyoto Steps is an Asian-inspired quilt that focuses on larger rectangles in the central area and smaller rectangles that step out to the top and bottom in rhythmic sequence. The large floral print with a visiting bee is my favorite. I pieced this quilt during the lockdown in 2020, a time when sewing became even more important for my morale. In spite of being quite enamored with it, I am donating this quilt to the 2021 Michiana Mennonite Relief Sale held this coming September. Hopefully you will be able to view Kyoto Steps at the Elkhart County Fairground prior to the sale. I think it likely that you will love it as much as I do. Kyoto Steps

Inspired by the stockinette stitch, the most basic stitch in knitting that forms little V's on the front of the work, Justine Wilson of Great Heron Thread Company designed Stockinette. The pattern is made entirely of flying geese, a very ordinary block. Yet working with color temperature and color value in alternating rows culminates in a not-so-ordinary modern quilt. I chose Dear Isla fabric by Cotton and Steel. Maybe a wall hanging? No, mine will likely be a baby quilt gift. Stockinette
35" x 40" 336 pieces Today this gorgeous new pattern Travaya was released by designer Katrina Roccella. The name denotes traveling and exploring new places. It reminds me of a labyrinth. I was happy to be one of her pattern testers, and I thoroughly enjoyed piecing this top. I think it looks more difficult than it actually was...just simple nine patch blocks. For my fabric I chose Flower Society by Art Gallery Fabrics. Go to #travayaquilt on Instagram to check out all the other beautiful versions made by her testers. The pattern is available on Katarina's Etsy site. Travaya
