Quilters are always looking for a reason to buy more fabric or use up some of their stash while enjoying one of their favorite things to do, and what better way is there than to celebrate a special day by making a quilt.

Learn where the ideas came from and what techniques were used to make these amazing, inspirational quilts. The artists had a great time creating unique wall-hangings with personal connections, and you can too! AUTHOR: Shannon Gingrich Shirley is an award-winning quilter.
