Arizona Blooms by Betsy Wycislak, quilted by Valerie Greenwell. 

We love the gorgeous colors and contrasts in this quilt, along with the large print floral border.  Betsy Wycislak says, "I moved to Arizona three years ago. When Edyta Sitar named her pattern Arizona, I knew I had to make it and I had to use all cactus fabrics.  So, I did!"   

Here is the original Arizona by Edyta Sitar in her Dahlia fabric collection. As of this writing, you can find the pattern on Edyta's website HERE!

Amaryllis Christmas by Betsy Wycislak, quilted by Valeria Greenwell.  

When choosing fabrics for a quilt, many experts start with the border. Here's a great example! Betsy Wycislak says that the amaryllis fabric (chosen for the border) inspired her to make the 2023/24 Bonnie Hunter Mystery quilt ("Indigo Way") into a Christmas quilt.  "It's the first Christmas quilt I've made, that I get to keep." Snippets of the amaryllis fabric can be seen in the centers of these blocks:
