Yes, I’m writing for Quiltmaker Magazine! I met the awesome team behind this magazine at spring quilt market and began writing articles last year. For the March / April issue, I challenged myself to design a super simple throw sized quilt and find an easy way to free motion quilt it as well.
I LOVE how this turned out! This is honestly one of my most favorite quilts because the piecing and quilting are such nice companions. Here’s a short video to learn how to quilt one of the marked tear drop motifs:

Dearest Leah, I've been following you and your blog since about day 37 of your project, and am so very happy for all your wonderful and well-deserved successes. I was so thrilled to see your name on the cover of my favorite quilting magazine. Congratulations.
Such a chic and smart design, Leah! Kudos to you!
The quilting and piecing look so wonderful together. The quilting really enhances the design.
