Sheridan has graciously shared her simple-to-construct Shining Star pattern, which is easy for beginning quilters and experienced quilters alike. It requires only two fabrics and allows you to use one of those fabrics in your collection that you just couldn’t bear to cut up!

In this APQS video tutorial, APQS Dealer and Educator Angela Huffmann shares a romantic and flowy design called Sea Foam Filler. It looks great on landscape quilts when you want to emulate the look of water or waves. It also looks fantastic behind applique.
