Doodled on her iPad in an art program first, Yellow (34" x 33") was a quilt that Lynn Koolish knew where she wanted to end up but didn't know how to get there. Knowing she had a great quilt, she had to work backwards from her drawing to figure out the piecing of the quilt.

Learn from Lynn by watching Show 2711.

Beginning with blank white fabric and created from scratch, Pick Up Sticks (26" x 21") comes from a class that Lynn teaches. Each student begins with the same white fabric and spends the morning painting it, stamping it, and stenciling it. Then afterwards they can create any style quilt they want by picking up and arranging the fabrics the painted earlier, hence the name.
