My good friend Colleen Coffman recently finished the center medallion of her Reach for the Stars sampler quilt, and it’s a showstopper! Take a look:

Instructions for this queen-size quilt, designed by Terry Krysan, are being published in a seven-part series by Quilter’s Newsletter magazine.
Colleen’s focus fabrics are from the Morris Apprentice line by Barbara Brackman for Moda fabrics. Her beautiful fussy-cut corners featuring the artichoke motif are even more dramatic when the block is set on point, as it will be in the finished quilt:

Colleen, you are off to a great start!
I second that! Great job to Colleen! You both are going to have beautiful not-too-matchy matching quilts!
Incredible!!!
Magnificent, Colleen
Beautiful – bold colors – can’t wait to see the next blocks come through the blog!
