Leanne Valiukas made this pretty quilt for her one-year-old daughter, Sarah. The easy design has Friendship Star blocks and squares from a woodlands fairy panel. Choose a novelty print to suit the recipient’s interests.

Maureen Rayner’s included all her favourite pets on this wonderfully bright, yet country-coloured quilt. Fusible-web appliqué and easy piecing makes this an achievable short-term project.

Claire Stewart was inspired to make this quilt the second she saw Heather Bailey’s ‘Fresh Cut’ range of fabrics. So much so, she made it over a long weekend so she could enjoy the funky fabrics!

Therese Rankmore’s project would make a great first quilt as the design is simple, yet effective. Although it’s made mainly out of fat quarters, it would also work well as a scrappy quilt with each piece different.

Bonjour Madame! Here’s a great project for reminiscing about Parisian adventures – or giving your décor a French touch – with Meredith Harmer’s quilt in the ‘Molly Goes to Paris’ range of fabrics.

Jenny Thurling originally designed this project as a mystery quilt but as you can see, the secret’s out – and the mystery solved! You could easily make it into an ‘I spy’ by substituting the main squares.

Denise Howell wanted a sunny, happy quilt for her new bedroom and chose yellow and white – affording her many enjoyable hours scouring patchwork shops for suitable sunshiny tones! And, the result speaks for itself.
