Staggered Lines

by Megan Callahan

Staggered Lines plays with a singular block that is manipulated directionally or with color to create an illusion of six individualized blocks. A dark or contrasting background makes the staggered lines a focal feature.

"I sketched the idea for this quilt years ago in my old MQG notebook and just finally dug it out. Take a look at your old sketches, now is a great time to dust them off."

Megan White Callahan is a quilter, technical editor, and freelance graphic designer working from her home in central California. Her interest in sewing began in her 7th grade home economics class with a very ill-fitting pair of shorts and a small army of scrunchies. She transitioned to quilting in high school and has been honing her quilting and bag-making skills ever since. In a past life, she utilized her undergraduate degree in English Literature by perhaps serving you coffee at a Starbucks in the Greater Seattle or Portland area.

When she is not sewing or working in front of the computer, Megan spends her time cooking, baking, or enjoying the outdoors with her husband and twin daughters as well as a small menagerie of pets. Find her on Instagram @wholalacrafts.
