just been put together and has been introduced by quilting treasures and it has these wonderful bright colors and i especially like the background and i'm going to show you that in just a moment it is called enchanted garden is the name of this line we're going to put it up here on the shell on the table and i'll show you the fabrics so what we have here is our number one fabric and it's this great flower that's going to go in the number one position here and then this is the fabric that i love because it's called enchanted garden is the name of the uh fabric and this is where we grow love joy

the uh it's it's a breeze perfect you know i used to be able to um read upside down like in the last video we've really practiced that skill but sometimes my eyes just don't want to cooperate with me i have to tell you that i absolutely love your fabric line we have several of the quilts and quilts on the double made with your fabric line and it's just spectacular i love it too it was a very exciting opportunity this is my third line but i i think they just are getting better and better okay friend all right this quilt is my louvers quilt and perfectly named because i think it kind of looks like you're peeking through the louvers of a window so that you can see this wonderful floral background this fun starburst floral i just love that it's kind of got a little bit of a 60s vibe going on which is kind of appeals to me as well so very simple basic block just a few half square triangles so if you're just learning half square triangles this might be a fun one to start on because there's not too many in the quilt just a handful let's put that on the table and look at the fabric oh you know what and while we've got it up here let's look at the back and the quilting on this too i just love how our quilter lucinda did the spirals on this i just think it's great and what a fun backing and hey don't forget when you get your kit click the option to have us select your backing for us that's a great way that we can you can have it all together and ready to go once you get it in the mail from us all right let's talk about this fabric now our focus fabric like i said is this fun kind of a tie-dyed look florals little starburst floral so perfect and it gives you that great look like you're looking through the the blinds through the window with those flowers that's the way the quilt looks to me then our number two fabric the fun spiral which kind of mimics the quilting on this that's great and this is in our border and as one of our borders on the main block and then our half square triangle and then our number three is the darkest of the two and that also is our secondary border there on the block so much fun here this quilt kit is eight zero two one six six six and it's called bejeweled the pattern is louvers and it's in the new book quilts on the double now we have our alternate pattern that we chose it's going to be illusions do you know what i like most about this book is it it's one bright colorful book yes absolutely if you need a color fix you just go look at the pages lots of fun okay i'll take that one for you thank you let's look at what we have next oh i have to say this is one of my favorites but i think i say that all the time don't i this is perfect match and this is such a great easy quilt block to do because basically it's one block and i'll show you that when we put it on the table but it's one block made in two different color ways and this is also made with donna's brand new fabric and i just think it looks striking so simple and so easy to do so let's look at that one on the table [Applause] so do we have our cropping tool handy we do let's do that so they can see how this is put together because i think this is kind of special so all we've done here is here is our block so you can see that we have our main fabric here and then a little strip pieced unit that we've put on there and then if you just shift it down all we've done is make that exact same block again just in one of the other fabrics so it's super simple you're just turning your blocks and then putting a sashing on it so it makes it really great that's all right and wow how stunning it is with your fabric so let's look at the fabric so our number one fabric or focus here is this beautiful vine floral bright colors just makes me happy that will be our focus our number two is the perfectly coordinated uh light green vine and then of course for that element of contrast and pop is our blue stripe and i love that stripe i do too i keep i kept using it every time i went to designer quilts i was like i want to use that stripe again so this fabric kit is eight zero two one six six seven it's called enchanted garden this is the perfect match pattern in the quilt on the double book and the alternate pattern that we suggest is attraction that'll be a good a good fill in pattern for them if if they don't want the book i mean how would anybody not want this book you want the book yes you want the book you'll be glad you did all right what's our next pattern here oh this one was fun too now whenever i was designing this i put some blocks together and kept turning them around and around and playing with them and whenever i came up with this i thought this is so cool it makes me think of the the girls dancing around the maypole with the ribbons so that's how i named it ribbons because it has this cool kind of flowing pattern to it so let's put that on the table and look at that fabric and i think this is good quilting for this too can i show them the back please do i was going to say can i see the back of that so it's so cool because our quilter just did this like long meandering quilt pattern then just a wave it enhances that ribbon effect yes which is very cool absolutely very cool and what fabric is this this is a qt fabric from one of their brand new lines fusion 2. and i love it because it looks like the geodes that are so popular now oh i just bought some of those for my house oh they're great perfect oh i may have to adopt that quilt you're welcome okay so this fabric let's look at this we have our focus fabric is this beautiful green marbled textured fabric worth of blue it is absolutely gorgeous and that is here now i want to mention too that even though this quilt looks a little challenging it's actually the same block over and over and over again just made with different um yeah let's show that it's just made with different fabric combination so this is actually a rectangle unit here and basically what we have is a rectangle with a half square rectangle sewn on the end wow and then on this one it's exactly the same it's a rectangle with a half square rectangle on the end squared half square triangle thank you well that's okay we were just working with those half square rectangles so i said it automatically usually i can't say it there you go that is so super simple it was looking pretty complicated so super and they're just turned and just with the different fabrics it works perfectly that's great so okay so back to our fabric sorry about that i got a little excited focus fabric here beautiful blues and greens yummy yummy perfect contrast with our beiges and then our number three this one looks like water it looks like water and bubbles it's great yes so this quilt number is eight zero two one six six eight it's called sand and c the name of the quilt is ribbons and it's in quilts on the double and the alternate pattern that we recommend is simply strips oh that's going to look good too and that's another super simple one it only has one block like this only has one block it's just done over and over and over again and it would look really good with that as well love it all right well we have another one to show you made out of some beautiful cave fabrics and this one is the last one that i did for the book and it's called stellar and i loved making this a star with those cape fabrics because like someone told me one time look at it like color not like a print and it goes together beautifully so let's put that up there we get our uh with k fabric you get your contrast as much or more with your colors so if we focus on this one right here you can see how this one is basically reds and oranges against those purples and blues just breaking i love this and i have to say you're perfectly coordinated today i am this is just breathtaking you know what's really funny about it is is that i tend to be drawn to those colors not just in my quilts but in my wardrobe too yes so now this is another one that we don't have the fabric yet so we can't even show you the fabric we just requested samples so that we can make this quilt for you and you will get to order those if you go to our website and you say you want to get notification you will put the kit information and then click to get an email when it's in stock and if you want to know this is your information eight zero two one six six nine and it's supernova and it's with the name of the pattern is stellar the book is quilts on the double and because that pattern's only available in quilts on the double we are giving you an alternate pattern that you can make this with and that is heartland and heartland would look great with this it's not a star there but it would look great with that churn dash so that was a lot of fun it was great fun designing the book yes absolutely and we had a blast putting the book together with the cover and can't wait for all of you to get to see it let's show the inside oh yes and of course you know i love that the books are completely spelled out lots of basic instructions but as always we have absolutely given you your enlargements for your
