3 Great Quilts!

If you're a huge fan of Benartex fabrics (and you probably are if you're a regular blog reader!), don't miss the Winter issue of Easy Quilts. This magazine has three projects featuring our fabrics!

First up is "Anybody Home?" by Melanie Greseth and Joanie Holton of Tailormade Studios. This twist on a typical house block features a checkerboard border, trees, and of course houses, all floating on a sky blue background. The quilt is made from Nancy Halvorsen's fun This & That collection--dots, swirls, checks--we love these whimsical coordinates!

Next is the "Polka Dot Two-Step Quilt" by Tony Jacobson. This bright and cheery quilt has a summer feel year-round thanks to the fabrics it uses--Blue Paradise prints by Maria Kalinowski. Easy disappearing nine-patch blocks framed with a bold stripe border--what could be more fun?

And finally, pair the contemporary black and white prints of Bellissimo with an accent color (Nancy Mahoney used lime green) in Sinclair Stars. Huge star blocks framed in a pop of color make a graphic impact.
