1. Jack in the Box Mini by Sharon McConnell

 Sharon made the Jack in the Box block featuring Charleston fabrics and turned it into a mini quilt masterpiece! The reds and blues pop from the white background, having me dreaming about the Fourth of July and picnics at the beach! The sashing with cornerstones  adds the perfect finishing touch to this mini! 

 

 2. Ohio Star Block Pillow by Karen O'Connor

 Karen made the Ohio Star block featuring Woodlands Fusion and turned it into the most gorgeous pair of pillows!  She added a border to her blocks with Linen from The Denim Studio and quilted it with grid straight line quilting. I love the decorative stitches she used with varies colors of contrasting threads.
