Table of contents for 77 in Love Patchwork & Quilting

The team have been very busy this issue, working away on a compendium of 40 modern blocks, which we've produced in association with our good friends at Moda. These all-new patterns feature traditional piecing so present a great opportunity to refresh essential techniques – like the perfect ›in seam, which remains the cornerstone of all of our projects. Finishing at 8½in square, you can mix and match multiple designs to produce a classic sampler quilt or simply repeat a single block for an all-over design. Whatever you're making, we'd love you to share your progress with us online and join the amazing community of Love Patchwork & Quilting readers sewing along the world over!

Tell us a little about your creative background and how you first got into quilting. I originally started quilting almost ten years ago while I was studying Fiber Arts at SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design). My main focus was on print and pattern design and I wanted a way to use a collection of fabrics and to create a finished and functional object with them, so I turned to quilting. I took an art quilt class with Pamela Wiley and from there I fell in love with quilting and made my entire senior collection quilt-related, figuring out ways to utilise the medium of quilting in various functional objects. After college, I ended up working at a corporate company designing prints and patterns, and over the years I was…

And just like that, my time here writing this monthly column has come to an end. Over the last year, I’ve shared with you my methods for pulling fabrics, choosing fussy cuts and coordinating colour palettes. You’ve gotten a few sneak peeks into my life and what inspires me, and it just so happens that this month’s fabric theme is one of my biggest inspirations. So let’s pull one last bundle together and talk mid-century modern. My husband and I have long been fans of the mid-century style, and last October we purchased a 1957 ranch home that, thankfully, had been left untouched by time. The kitchen features aqua and chrome countertops and backsplash, as well as an original aqua Hotpoint stove top. The pink tile bathroom has a boomerang…

Bold and simple blocks offer plenty of freedom for fabric choices, and five size options appeal to a range of abilities (and fabric stashes). Pick your size, select your fabrics and get your pattern from quiltyloveshop.com VINTAGE TILES LP&Q regular Lou Orth is putting stars in our eyes with her latest quilt pattern, Vintage Tiles. Join squares, strips, HSTs and Flying Geese in the block-based design and, better yet, use your…
