Create one gorgeous quilt with the techniques from two expert quilt artists.

What happens when two expert quilters bring their unique skills together? Spring Bling is created. Becky Goldmith veers from handwork to share how she machine appliques art-deco borders and Quilt Gemoligist MJ Kinman teaches you how to create the centerpiece stone. 

MJ Kinman brings her one-of-a-kind gemstone quilt technique in a step-by-step process from selecting colors to cutting and sewing your gem medallion. You’ll be introduced to traditional piecing using freezer paper as your templates. You'll also learn how to use colors and fabrics for your desired gemstone look. 

Becky Goldsmith then shares not one, but two, beautiful appliqué setting options. Becky walks you through every step of the turned edge machine appliqué process that includes templates, gluing the seam allowances, accurate positioning, the machine blanket stitch, and more. 

Two styles merged to make one quilt that is guaranteed to make your friends and family say “WOW!”
