Sunday Teaser

Hey, Q-bies!

Okay, we’ll admit it. We’ve had fleeting thoughts of fall/winter quilting. We’re not cutting any projects just yet, mind you, but we have started to think about what we’d like to make for whom, once the chill hits the air. (Sick, isn’t it?) But luckily there’s still plenty of dog-day summer left to revel in the citrus brights and summery prints of this fab, feverish season. Pour yourself another glass of sangria and kick back for a look at what the week will bring.

ANOTHER REVEAL: Remember the block drawing homework we assigned last week to designers Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr? Well, a bunch of you took us up on the invitation to try your hand at the same exercise, and we’ll show you the winning entry today. Oh heck, we’ll show ‘em all!

PLUS…BONUS PLAYDATE: We give you a pattern for the winning block in this draw-it-yourself challenge.
