Autumn Splendor was originally published in 2006 and has been off the market as a Quiltworx pattern for nearly 10 years. They routinely get requests to bring it back, and have decided it is time to run another limited release of this design. They have made some updates to the pattern layout (decreased the number of overlapping circles and have now included square up templates and options for adding expansion borders). The pattern is a relatively straightforward design, a good introductory pattern, and includes many of Judy’s trusted techniques including floating points, speed stacking and cutting, and traditional curved piecing. This pattern is created as a Collectors Club Design which means there are only 500 available for purchase. Pattern size 57 x 57

Judell’s covers are as eye catching as the quilts! This cover made me want to watch Game of Thrones all over again!

Geodes showcases a stunning display of rainbow fabrics.

This may be the best cover and name yet!

All of these patterns are due to be released early next month so place your orders now.
