Aileen Fitzpatrick Quilts

As a passionate quilter, I have developed a love for creating unique One Block Wonder Quilts and some are featured in the book by Maxine Rosenthal, One Block Wonder Panel Quilts. My quilting journey has also led me to discover Millefiori quilts and Inklingo, which have ignited my passion for hand piecing. Professionally I enjoy making memory quilts from clothing and t-shirts to commemorate lives lived, careers, and special events. As a blogger, I am excited to share my experiences and insights.

Blue Skies and Sunshine

I found Bonnie Hunter's Straits of Mackinac block in Quiltmaker's 100 Block Vol 14 and had to make it. I had lots of these 2 colors so picking colors was easy. The second Maggie saw it she dibs'd it. That's fine, As I was nearing completion she was in the sewing room stroking it fondly and exclaiming how much she loved it. I said I really did too! She says "Oh, mom, you should make one for you to keep" lol...I thought I was.
