Crazy Peels

by Janet Nesbitt

This month's feature quilt is a nod to history: an antique Necktie pattern brought to life with a modern twist. With cardinal and gold blocks that pop against a striking blue background, this quilt celebrates color, history, and a bit of Cyclone pride!


But that's just the beginning. Below, you'll find wall hangings that make a statement, a versatile table runner perfect for Valentine's or St. Patrick's Day, and a charming quilt called Girl Crazy—an ideal project for those who want a quick, affordable finish that showcases bold prints.

And don’t miss the video from Riley Blake Designs, featuring a modern take on the classic Churn Dash block, paired with the Wine Slushie pattern to bring it all together.


No matter your style or schedule, there’s something here to inspire your next masterpiece.


Let’s create together! Heidi
