Editorial
June is here, and for me, the official start of summer has begun! Summer is such a magical time for many of us. Even the word conjures up happy memories plus happy anticipations of what this season will bring. Growing up, I could hardly wait to get out of school because it meant three glorious months of endless play, watching lightning bugs, sitting in the front yard with all the neighbors at night looking up at the stars, games on the sidewalks in the glow of the street lights, vacation, and the list goes on and on. As I have gotten older, June has taken on a different meaning. Now it's time for working in the yard, entertaining outdoors, family gatherings, baseball, enjoying the longer days, and sitting on the screen porch at night with all the summer bug sounds. It's great that this month's issue captures all of the wonderful things about June and the start of summer. There are Garden Paths, which many enjoy walking, and are you Going My Way for vacation? We can explore Crooked Lanes in new places and also celebrate with a Fiesta! So, you choose which one will be your summer project. Don't forget about the mysteries and the articles, too. Now that I have shared what June means to me, I would love to hear what June means to you. Won't you please go to our Facebook group and leave a comment about what June means to you? We love to hear from our readers, and that will make our June more special! Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you.

It's hard to introduce a mystery quilt without giving too much away, but this pattern will have you guessing until the very end. Which is the block? Which is the sashing? It's a mystery. 701 Mystery quilt design came from the Design Challenge Workshop presented on Pattern Pastiche, The Quilt Pattern Magazine's private online quilters' community. Click here for more information. Rustic Queen
The Rustic Queen Mystery quilt design came from humble beginnings. My task was to create a quilt using three consecutive units provided in the Design Challenge Workshop presented on Pattern Pastiche, The Quilt Pattern Magazine's private online quilters' community. I rotated, flipped, and reconfigured the units using the Electric Quilt software until I happened upon a "mystery quilt" configuration unfolding in the process. Click here for more information.

I'd
say Going My Way? is a boy's quilt, but it doesn't
have to be. Girls like bright colors too. It'll look great in
solids or novelty prints as long as they have good contrast
from the background and won't distract from the patchwork pattern.
The pieced back gives the quilt extra pizzazz.

Fiesta!,
by Amy Stirrup, is an exciting design with lots of motion that
looks so much more complex than it really is. Very basic traditional
piecing joins with the simplest of foundation paper piecing
and an on-point setting to create this vibrant quilt.
With
Crooked Lanes, Nan Baker has created a fun design
that is easy to piece. The center accent strip adds a bright
splash of color against the warm earthy colors interspersed
with a neutral background. All of your piecing is completed
using rectangles. The final block appears after the center strip
is added and the result is squared up. Let's get started creating
some Crooked Lanes.

Garden
Paths, by Joanne Maner, is a pattern you will want to
make over and over again. Not only is it a perfect beginner
project, it would also make a great hostess gift. What’s
more, if you need a quick present, you probably already have
all the fabric you need in your stash.
