At the beginning of 2009, I started writing a column for each issue of Quiltmaker called Design Studio. Each column covers a different topic and encourages you to try these ideas and post your pictures in our Design Studio gallery. So far, I’ve covered working with preprinted panels and blocks, striped fabrics and blocks colored half light and half dark. Have you tried any of these ideas?

preprinted panels

preprinted squares

striped fabrics in table runners

blocks colored half light and half dark

Post a picture of something you’ve made using one of these ideas to a Design Studio gallery and leave a comment here telling us about it to be entered for a drawing. I’ll select 3 names and each will receive one of the table runners using striped fabrics from our May/June issue. I’ll draw the names on Tuesday, 6/30 at noon Mountain time.
