Heart Strings: A Merry Manor Metallic Quilt Art Exhibit

Every quilt begins with a spark of inspiration.

For this exhibit, that inspiration came from Merry Manor Metallic by Moda Fabrics. Rich poinsettias, elegant florals, graceful metallic scrolls, and classic holiday greenery come together in a quilt that celebrates timeless Christmas tradition rather than a single season.

Using the Heart Strings pattern from Holly Jolly 5 Yard Quilts from Fabric Cafe, Diane Quirk transformed this collection into a study of balance, movement, and color, while Lisa Warren’s quilting adds texture that invites a closer look. Each framed block offers another glimpse into the artistry of the fabric collection, reminding us that every finished quilt begins with inspired design.
