It only seems appropriate that as I sit here in Houston, getting ready for Quilt Market to begin, I tell you about a beautiful new book that was just released by my friend Michele Muska. Quilting - The New Classics is a practical and inspirational book that covers 20 traditional quilt designs as well as 20 contemporary designs based on traditional designs! I was excited to be asked to design and make a traditional nine patch quilt...and lucky that I have a team of quilters and sewers behind me so I could actually turn it in! To kick off the release of this cool new book, we are having a blog hop...so you can jump around and meet each of the designers. I wish I could show you a picture of the quilt we made, using our La Belle Fleur collection....but that will have to be on Instagram later...I can only manage so many technical connections at once!
Follow along the hop below to see all of the beautiful quilts....I am sure they will inspire you to try your own classic or modern design!
Follow us @frenchgeneral to see lots more quilt inspiration from Houston!
