Home Free

A local quilt group issued a challenge to its members: Make a quilt with the theme of Freedom. The resulting entries were exhibited at the 2026 Quilt Arizona show titled Let Freedom Ring.  We love this Dresden quilt variation surrounded by flying geese in red, white and blue.

Home Free, made and quilted by Elisa Lawrance 

Inspired by Dresden Neighborhood by Kim Lapacek of Persimon Dreams, Elisa Lawrance says: "When I started with the pattern from Kim Lapacek, I ended up with a round piece. I then drafted the flying geese to make a ring around the houses to fit within the Night Owls [quilt group] challenge of 36"."  She then embellished with crystals, buttons, and beads. 

In the closeup photo below you can see many embellishments including a daisy, snowman, guitar, baseball and bat (see below).  The center of the Dresden reads "Let freedom ring."

Celebrate your town with a group quilt!

How about getting members of your quilt group to make blocks depicting buildings around your town? That's what members of the Hayward, Wisconsin quilt group did. This clever quilt includes churches, houses, restaurants, and even a bird house! The teal-colored sashing brings everything together.

Buildings Around Hayward, WI by Paula Fulton and the Hayward, Wisconsin Quilt Guild 

What a great way to celebrate your town! Guild members were given teal and flowered backing fabric to create a quilted block around Hayward, Wisonsin.  Quilt show attendees voted and the "winner" got to assemble and finish the quilt using the quilt-as-you-go method.  

Each of the blocks has fun details, including flower beds, trees, and pets.  Check out the heart-shaped smoke coming out of the chimney below!
