Whenever I think of rainbow coloured quilts with black and white stripe binding, my mind immediately goes to my good friend and amazing quilt designer, Emma of Emma Jean Jansen. Emma and I became friends at least 15 years ago when Emma sold my patterns through her store, Ballarat Patchwork. I was so very honoured when Emma named a quilt after me in her Book ‘By the Bundle’, called Nellie Grey and I knew that one day I wanted to name a quilt after her too. Fast forward to 2024 when I was designing my very own quilt with cross blocks. I immediately knew that this quilt needed to be made in rainbow colours and was going to be called Emma Jean.

Mary Mary looks wonderful made in so many different fabric combinations, from a simple three fabric quilt, to a scrappy version as per this sample. I am sure that you won’t be able to stop at just one Mary Mary, she’s addictive. It’s a great way to use up your fabric stash or use larger pieces of a favourite range too. Mary Mary works in so many fabric combinations and is beginner friendly too.

Suzie Quilt is a remake of my 2009 design called Suzie’s Sweet Shoppe. Featuring one of my favourite blocks, the Sawtooth Star, Suzie Quilt looks amazing made in any fabric combination, from a favourite range to scrappy. Both the Small throw and Large Throw / Twin sizes are included in this pattern. I am sure you won’t be able to stop at making just one.
