Sheila Frampton Cooper had just started quilting less than 2 years before she made this quilt. It was in a special exhibit juried by Ricky Tims and was placed right across from the TQS booth at Road to California. Alex knew Sheila as Zoombaby on our site and loved her and her work. The quilt, Sunset Cinema, came home after the show was over.

Sheila is featured in Show 1306. Star members can watch her no-pin curved piecing.

Gyleen is giving you a free pattern for what she calls "A go with the flow quilt." This "Quick Summer Medallion" quilt gives you full flexibility to make it your own. If you want it bigger, go for it. If you want a rectangle, take a breath, and go for it. It's all up to you.

 
Gyleen talks about this pattern in her latest show. Star Members can watch Gyleen at work in Show 2012: Modern Scrappy Quilts.
 
 
Gyleen has also included two .pdf files for help with piecing the back of the quilt.
