What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Aren’t we all ready for spring by now? Cindy Staub of Quilt Doodle Designs shares her adorable and decidedly springlike “Coneflower” table runner project. She used prints from our COLLECTABLE CALICOS collection by Laura Berringer, and you can also dig into your stash of 1930’s prints, too. Her design features easy piecing, and has just the right amount of applique for any skill level.
