"In the video tutorial she says to pivot for the corner. I have a better way. Take on diagonal stitch then continue on the next side you are sewing. It seems counterintuitive, but it makes a nice sharp point when you turn the item right side out. For bulkier fabric take two diag. sts."

"I really like this quilt, it looks so pretty and easy to make. Super versatile pattern that could use up a lot of stashed fabrics. If you are like me, you cut up favorite shirts or skirts that are worn in one place, but fine in others to have more fabric to use. I also really like using the reproduction vintage fabrics too-mixing them all together with my fabric stash to create really fun quilts. I think this one would be a quick one to make. I have to put this on my "to make" list."

"Great, practical idea for a nice cover for a tablet. I love the batik fabric that the quilter used too. On the site, she has some really cute appliqued covers for kids and those are very sweet. I assume one could enlarge this pattern to make a quilted cover for a laptop too. Extra cushioning for electronics is always a plus, even if you are slipping them into a briefcase, tote or backpack. This is a very doable project and would be a quick and easy gift for a friend or family member."

Quilt Designer Laura Wasilowski A sense of whimsy and play describes my art work. With a feeling of delight, I create art quilts using hand-dyed fused fabrics, hand stitching, and machine quilting. Creating with fused fabric allows my work to be joyful, organic, and more inventive. It is the most direct route from a design idea in my head to the realization of that idea in fabric.

The art quilts I make often document my life. They tell stories of my family, friends, and home. Some relate events in my families’ history like the story of my mother’s kitchen on baking day. Other quilts picture everyday objects found in our home like, chairs, irons, and teapots. Each object is like beloved cartoon character with a personality and life of its own.

The art of quilting gives me the freedom to express myself and play at the same time. It’s the best job in the world!
