So many quilts…So little time!

Life really does seem to whiz right on by doesn't it? All we really want to do is make quilts, but there are so many other things to do. We're lucky that designers, fabric manufacturers and inventors are constantly coming up with shortcuts and timesavers that help us get to all of those quilt projects we want to make.

Sometimes the fabric will inspire a quilt design. The charming panel prints in Going Buggy (page 34) and Story Time (page 52) will help you stitch up quilts in no time. We've also got a few projects that would be just perfect for giving (or keeping, if you prefer!). Our Spa Essentials set (page 46) is fast and fun to sew, and the Candy Stripes tote bag (page 28) uses strips of fabric woven through rug canvas. If your sewing room is overflowing with scraps, don't despair! Check out our Scrappy Blues (page 30), Romantic Sensation (page 6) and Reach for the Stars (page 56) for beautiful projects you can make from your stash.

All in all, we've got a baker's dozen projects for you. If you start in the morning, you'll have at least one quilt done by the next evening (try the Framed Flowers quilt on page 42 for an easy two-block quilt). And when you take a break, check out all of the web bonuses we have for you at www.quiltmag.com!
