Meet Backgammon, from You’ve Got a Point!

Happy Friday, y’all! I recently launched a series of posts about the quilts in my upcoming book, You’ve Got a Point! (You can find the introduction post HERE.) Today I’m excited to talk about Backgammon. Backgammon was one of the first designs I came up after I decided to experiment with making as many unique triangle-in-a-square quilts as I could. It’s the first pattern in my book, and it’s also a great introductory pattern for quilters who have never made a triangle-in-a-square block.  ...

Introducing my first book, You’ve Got a Point!

I’m dusting off the ol’ blog today for something especially exciting! Today, I’m officially introducing my very first book, You’ve Got a Point!, which is being published by Martingale and should be hitting stores in early June. I’ve posted a little about it on Instagram, but today, I’m here to share a little bit of the back story and some pictures. It still feels a little surreal to say that I’ve written a book! When I first began my quilting journey, I was focused more on becoming a better  ...
