Disappearing Four Patch - Tyler & Maranda's Quilt

I think one of the hardest things to do is to make a quilt that is neither too masculine nor too feminine.  This Disappearing Four Patch pattern along with the nice combination of colors in this quilt does a pretty good job of coming in middle of the road.

Sunprint Fun - Michelle's Quilt

I've always been intrigued with the Sunprint (more formally known as cyanotype) technique, particularly on fabric. This quilt is one I made for my niece; it incorporates squares that I "sun printed" with elements from the border fabric.
