Libby wanted to recreate a piece of notebook paper with this quilt. It looks just like it right down to the hole punches and bits of "tape" holding on the images.

Libby's quilt is all about raising strong daughters, just like her own. She used raw-edge appliqué and texture to build up the layers of the quilt.

It's all about value with Circular Reasoning. The variation in value placement results in a high energy quilt and keeps your eye moving.

The pattern for Circular Reasoning can be found in Lynn's book, Every Last Piece.

Lynn says that Butterfly Effect was a long time in the making. It was inspired by a photo of polyester double knit quilt that her friend Jessica Wilson purchased at a thrift shop.

She went through her solid stash and cut squares in groups of four from each color. It took four squares to make each butterfly block. She was very happy when this large, 95" x 95", quilt was finally on her bed.

Butterfly Effect is shown in the gallery section at the beginning of her book, Every Last Piece.

Solar Flare is a string quilt. Lynn played with the layout for a long time trying out various settings. One weekend her son came home from school and asked if he could play around with the design. Lynn came into her sewing room and discovered a huge starburst filling the wall. She tweaked it a bit and added a few more fabrics to end up with the final result.
