Scattered Leaves by Shirley Challice (Kawartha Lakes, Ontario, Canada)  

 

 

This quilt was based on a pattern called Tessellation Blues by Maria Umhey (published in McCalls Quilting Magazine, January 2012.) Shirley Challice says, "I made this pattern in creams and indigos several years ago and considered making it in fall colors. The "O'Canada" exhibit was great motivation to create it again at half the size."

 

Scattered Leaves was beautifully machine pieced and quilted with the Maple Swirl pantograph by Urban Elementz. 

The McCall's pattern is no longer available, but we found a FREE tessellated leaves block tutorial by Yvonne at Quilting JetGirl (CLICK HERE for tutorial).  Yvonne also has a digital pattern available for purchase, including multiple finished quilt sizes (photo below...CLICK HERE for pattern link!)

Connections (Curved Flying Geese!)

Connections is a stunning original quilt featuring curved flying geese that loop over and under each other. It was designed and made by Sandy Rindlesbach, a Handi Quilter National Educator. This quilt inspired us to think about curved flying geese and how they are made (read on for details!)

Connections, made and quilted by Sandy Rindlesbach (Utah). 

Sandy Rindlesbach explains the quilt title: "Life is about the connections we make. Some of our connections are strong and powerful.  They are a dominant part of our lives.  Some connections will, for a season, take a step into the background.  They have contributed to who we are today.  We might not interact with them regularly, but they are still important to us.  By viewing all of our connections, we gain a clearer picture of who we are."

Flying geese were quilted into the background using a Forte (Amara 24) using free-motion, rulers, and Pro-Stitcher.  Sandy Rindlesbach talks about the Amara 24 in this YouTube video:
