" Peaceful Morn"

This lovely seasonal quilt was made using the Christmas Past fabric collection by Minnick and Simpson for Moda.  Contrary to first impressions, this quilt is very easy to make.  Instead of making star blocks with set-in seams, easy 6" pieced squares are made and assembled to create stars in the finished quilt.

" Simply Irresistible"

Featuring Garden Party, Gerri's new fabric collection for Troy, this quilt makes a wonderful gift for the birthday girl of any age! Gerri chose a directional fabric for her outer border. If you choose a non-directional fabric for your outer border, you can cut all 4 strips on the lengthwise grain, and will need only 2 yards.

"Sparkle and Shine"

Gerri created this glowing quilt using all 28 fabrics from the "Gradations" collection designed by Caryl Bryer Fallert for Benartex. Amazingly, this quilt is quick and easy; made of large flying geese with no fussy-cutting; the fabric does the work for you! You may wish to use a design wall to plan out color placement, or you may opt to position colors randomly. After quilting, hot-fix crystals are added as embellishments.

"Flower Market"

Easy French country style.  Bright fabrics from Windham's Garden Market Florals collection by Laurie Bird make this quilt a cheerful accent for any interior.  If you substitute other fabrics, use large-scale, bold prints if you wish to duplicate this trendy home dec look.

"Simple Elegance"

Minimum Sewing time... maximum impact!  Gerri created this elegant lap quilt using the April Cornell fabric collection by Moda.  The black large print used for the outer border is directional.  Gerri cut the side borders on the lengthwise grain of the fabric and pieced width of fabric strips for the top and bottom borders to keep the birds all in the same direction.

Gerri's firecracker of a quilt is just popping with stars!  This unusual quilt features cotton prints, over-dyed wools, and 9 different striped cotton twills, all from Moda's Nantucket collection.

"Just Peachy"

Gerri combines Minkee Plush Dots by Benartex with Antique Color Symphony and Mary Rose fabric collections by Robert Kaufman’s Quilt Gate for this delightful quilt. The sumptuous texture of the plush is highlighted by beautiful machine quilting. To complete the appliqué, Gerri fused the template fabrics and secured the edges during the quilting process. Do likewise if you wish.

"Quilters' Recess"

Gerri incorporated 3 different block designs in her bright quilt. Each block is simple enough for even first time quilters. But together they give the quilt a more complex look than most beginner's patterns.

"Taste of September"

Be a gourmet! Learn to combine fabric flavors. Every great quilt, like every great meal, requires quality "ingredients," combined with skill. Let's head for the market (a.k.a. your local quilt store) and select everything we need to make a quilt as yummy as Gerri's creation.

"Hope"

Fabrics featured in this quilt are from the Paris Flea Market collection by 3 Sisters for Moda. The border fabric is bark cloth, a decorator-weight fabric that gives the quilt added textural interest.
