What was your inspiration?
Jenny Doan from MissouriStar Quilts is a great teacher. I have enjoyed her tutorials and been inspired by her easy creative projects.
What are you most proud of?
Tristen's Garden was made for a little girl who loves bugs. She was thrilled to get her new quilt.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Choose one color for the center block of the first 9 patch block. When this block is cut into 4 sections, the center block fabric will appear in each subsequent block creating an interesting design.
