I’d love to share my design process for “stripey hexagon quilt” AKA Interplay, in case it helps you approach your designs in a new way. My first step in designing this quilt was recreating the layouts of some of the Adrian Martinus pieces in Prequilt. I had no desire to make a quilt using the exact layouts that I mocked up copying the Adrian Martinus pieces that I shared earlier. Those were purely used for exploration to see how the wooden designs would translate into 10-strip quilt designs.

I Wove U Quilt – Queen Size in jewel tones
Who doesn’t love a heart quilt? I made my I Wove U quilt in the queen size using solids in a color scheme inspired by my logo. Measuring 94″ x 94″, it is an oversized delight ideal for a wedding quilt. In the queen sized version of the I Wove U pattern has four heart blocks set on point, blooming outwards from the center of the quilt. They are nestled in interwoven strips of sashing, punctuated by cornerstones. Made in solids, these hearts blocks and the surrounding sashing make for generous canvases to showcase some fun quilting.
Progress>Pride Quilt
I recently came across an article about this beautiful design by Daniel Quasar and knew I had to translate it into a quilt. It’s a pride flag, redesigned to add representation for marginalized communities. Beyond all the symbolism (more on that below), it’s a striking design, which incorporates stripes, black and white, and rainbows. How could I resist??
