    I LOVE that older log cabin quilt! 🙂

  2. Leah – can't thank you enough for the FREE MOTION QUILTING PROJECT!!
    I've been quilting since 1988 and the only part that still intimidates me is the machine quilting. Thanks to you, I'm doing it with more confidence and actually think I'm getting better.
    I look forward to all your emails and visit your site often.
    You are a treasure to the quilting world!

    Beautiful quilt design. Would be great on any modern quilt.

    Can't wait to try it on a real quilt.

  4. I have been trying to think about a design for my next quilt of random HST'S for my son. This may very well be it. Sort of a graphic on graphic:) and if it's fast, hey, that's a plus!

    Leah, your Quilt Buster series is so timely! I getting ready to quilt a 90 x 90 quilt, in QAYG sections. I have 6 square and rectangular sections and you gave me the idea that I could use one design for each section. I also have to keep in mind that these are complex paper pieced stars with many areas with seam allowance build up. The smallest section is 24" x 24" and the largest is 36" x 36". If I use Matrix in one of them, I would theoretically have to start in a corner, and I know we always like to start in the center and work out. Would you quilt the first two diagonal lines starting from the center?

    Thanks,
    Nicky
