Whether you’re a brand new or experienced quilter, you’re sure to find helpful tips in this new series of basics. In this issue, Yvonne presents two ways of creating flying geese blocks, with instructions, illustrations, and cutting charts. Then practice those skills with the projects in A Tiny Bird’s Melody pattern!
Yvonne is a former aerospace engineer turned modern quilter, designer, and technical editor. She was introduced to quilting by her paternal grandmother in high school when her grandmother offered to hand quilt a twin-size quilt to use in her college dorm room if Yvonne made the quilt top. Now, 25 years later, Yvonne has developed a style that bridges her technical background and love of bold color, specializing in transparency color play and bold, geometric designs. Yvonne’s quilts have been featured in numerous national and international magazines, quilt shows, and Modern Quilts: Designs of the New Century. She lives on the big island of Hawaii with her husband.
