Time Travel Tiles Quilt
On Elaine Theriault’s travels, she spotted the tiles in the restroom at the Vancouver International Airport in British Columbia, and every time she saw them, she thought they would make a great quilt pattern. When the tile theme came up for this issue, she decided to use those tiles as her inspiration. She used her ‘creative license’ to make the design quilter friendly. While the piecing looks complicated, strip piecing and creative cutting speed up the process. Pick your favourite colourway, add a complementary sashing colour, and you'll have your version of this beautiful quilt in no time! Instructions include diagrams. Finished measurements 58"" x 69½"" [147.5 x 178cm] Unfinished block size 11"" make 30 blocks

Flower Power Wall Quilt
Elaine Theriault loves learning new tools and keeping things simple, which almost sounds like an oxymoron. While she’s very comfortable with her Husqvarna Viking Designer EPIC 2 for the piecing and the appliqué, she decided to learn how to cut the appliqué shapes with the Brother Scan N Cut. These can be cut by hand if you don't have a Scan N Cut. There are numerous ways to construct this wall quilt but for this project she decided to make three small quilts with one flower per quilt and tack them to a quilted base. Remove the tack stitches and switch out the small quilts for something else. If you prefer to make a table runner, piecing the flower blocks right into the sashing will make the project flat, preferable for a table runner. You could make just the flower quilts or add more or fewer blocks to suit your needs. The appliquéd flowers are large, with gentle curves, so the appliqué is FAST and easy. It's a super easy project and will add a fun splash of colour where you need it.
