Stepping Stones


The theme for my 2024 guild challenge was to reimagine a traditional quilt block and create a quilt with the theme of Community. Stepping Stones is my entry. (Earlier this week I shared an entry to my guild's challenge for the year that I was a contributed to.)

I had several different designs in mind as I approached the project, each focused on a single community in my life. At the end, I decided to design a quilt to celebrate all of them. Each of these group of people - my Pickleball group, my neighbors, the other early morning swimmers, and, of course, my family - bring joy, laughter, and friendship into my day. Some are larger than others, but they are all important.

Stepping Stones is 27" x 36". I used Ruby & Bee solids in colorways rain cloud, stormy, unicorn, turmeric, and poppy. The walking foot quilting was done on the diagonal and is roughly 1/4" spacing.

Have a wonderful day! Patty
