Welcome back for one more day of Abstract Garden fun! Today we're sharing a virtual trunk show of Christa's quilts made using her Abstract Garden prints. Sit back and enjoy!
This quilt was a challenge to myself—I wanted to create a diamond shape that didn’t require any special templates. The “diamond” is the shape you get when you put two half-square triangles together, but I figured out a way to cut the shapes without having the seam between two half-square triangles. Each version uses only five prints.

Lattice Work
This is a charm pack quilt. If you want to put all the
fabrics in one quilt, this will look really great! Little black lattice strips
separate the squares, like stained glass. Then I used a gray print from
Fandangle for the border. |

Pieced Primrose
I wanted a design that would emphasize all ten cool prints
or all ten warm prints. This is a paper pieced pattern. I know a lot of people
have a love-hate relationship with paper piecing. I had the original idea for
this quilt five years ago and have been waiting for the right fabric to release
it. The pattern includes a full-size template that can be printed off as many
times as needed.

Blooming Wallflowers
I really wanted to create a gradating rainbow effect in this
quilt. The hardest thing for me was not including all of the fabrics from the collection.
The quilt showcases just 12 out of the 20. The background is the navy from
Modern Marks, and it sets the colors off really well.

One last word from Christa:
I’m very thankful that my designs have been accepted and
people like them and I get to continue to design. I have a fourth fabric collection coming out at Spring Market--I can't wait! It’s a dream come true and only
possible because of the people who buy my fabric and patterns, so than you!
