Rickrack Squares Quilt

Brown quilt with colored squares and rickrack pattern

Dots are hot! And there are plenty in quilt tester Laura Boehnke's crib-size quilt that uses fabrics from Pop Parade by Metro and Panzy Pazazz by Janet Broxon, both from P&B Textiles. "I love to pair fun, contemporary fabrics with a traditional quilt pattern," Laura says. "Strong contrast between the fabrics in each Square-in-a-Square block is the key to adding punch to the overall design." This 43-inch-square quilt is the perfect size for a toddler's nap quilt or a great wall hanging.

Funky Crossroads Wall Hanging

Brown, green, and blue quilt with Windham fabrics

Make a quick wall hanging like quilt tester Laura Boehnke did using Rosemarie Lavin's Harmony collection for Windham fabrics. With just four Arkansas Cross Roads blocks, attention goes right to the medallion shape.

Although the prints in the Four-Patch units vary in color, value, and scale, all are set off by the same chocolate brown tone-on-tone used as the base of each Floating Star unit.

One-Block Roundabout

Timeless Treasures fabric quilt

Quilt tester Laura Boehnke worked from the inside out to frame a dynamic print from the Laguna collection for Timeless Treasures Fabrics with coordinating prints and stripes. By making just one block and adding borders, Laura created a 33-1/2-inch-square table topper or small wall hanging. For added interest, she pieced small striped triangles for border corners.

Garden Party Table Runner

Colorful orange, red, and pink quilt from Anna Maria Horner¿s Garden Party Fabrics

Christmas candy in the colors of chocolate and lollipops becomes a table runner for quilt tester Laura Boehnke. Most fabrics are from Anna Maria Horner's Garden Party collection for FreeSpirit.

Laura combined bright colors with brown for her triangle units. She paid careful attention to color placement when setting those units into triangle-squares. Two 1/2-inch-wide finished borders and one 2-1/2-inch-wide finished border complete the 19-1/2x43-1/2-inch table runner.

Double X Wall Hanging

Yellow, green, and red quilt with RJR Fabrics

Florals give quilt tester Laura Boehnke's quilt a feminine flair. "I showcased a large floral in the center of the blocks and used a slightly smaller scale floral in the triangle-squares," Laura says. "The tone-on-tone quality of the other fabrics allows the floral prints to really sparkle." She pieced this 44-inch-square version using the Chelsea Market collection from RJR Fabrics.

Uneven Nine-Patch and Star Quilt

Colorful star quilt

Using Elanor's Picnic by Piece O' Cake Designs for P&B Textiles, quilt tester Laura Boehnke made a bright and cheery quilt. Laura's 36-block rendition includes three Star blocks. "I kept the fabrics mostly low contrast, but punched up the color and prints," Laura says. "Polka dots always add a sense of playfulness and whimsy." The 44-1/2-inch-square quilt would make a great summertime table topper or kid's quilt.
