Patchwork and Quilting Magazine Mar-20 Back Issue

"Lots of piecing projects to tempt you this month. I’m quite excited by Kerry Foster’s Improv Adventure Quilt; a relatively painless introduction to improv piecing and an invitation not to be quite so regimented in quilt making. The Jungle Friends Quilt is the perfect ‘first bed quilt’ project when your little ones move into their first big bed. The Spring Greens Quilt is the ideal for using up all those different greens and blues in your stash while the Spring Table Runner and Mats are just the thing for decorating your table for Easter next month. The Joanna’s Choice quilt was so-named after designer, Betty Croke, submitted numerous potential quilt designs to me and this was the one I chose. I hope you like it too! Stuart’s Stashbusting block this month mixes two traditional blocks to make a great quilt pattern.
We’ve focussed on mini quilt challenge reviews in this issue. I always love taking a look at the entries in the Journal Quilt Challange each year and I think Helen equally enjoys a trip down to Somerset to review the annual 12 x 12 Mini Quilt Challenge; probably because she gets to go to a quilt shop at the same time! Helen also managed to find the time to go to London to take a look at the Solar System Quilts as the Royal Astronomical Society celebrates its 200th birthday. Chris Hammacott starts a new series of articles on Sustainability in a P&Q World, looking this month at pins and needles. Eileen Shone shows us her First and Last quilts and we meet Oast Quilters in Introducing."
