I absolutely loved reading this book!—it’s a wonderful resource for quilters who want to deepen their understanding of color. I had a great time learning new techniques and discovering fresh perspectives on working with color in quilting. It’s definitely one of those books that inspires me to try one of the wonderful projects in it, and I look forward to finding time to make one in the future!
THE DESIGNER
Meet Becca Plymale, the designer behind the beautiful Land of Enchantment collection! Becca is not only the creative force behind these fresh, joyful fabrics — she’s also one of the many talented quilt pattern designers on QuiltInk. Her patterns reflect her love for storytelling and modern aesthetics, often infused with playful details and coastal inspiration.
Becca lives in coastal Virginia with her family, and her background as a stylist and art director brings a unique sense of composition and color to her work.
She finds inspiration in vintage objects, nature walks, and the little moments of everyday life — all of which weave their way into her illustrations and fabric designs. Her creative world feels both inviting and nostalgic, full of warmth and personality.
On QuiltInk, you can explore and color her quilt patterns — and now, match them with her very own fabric line. It’s the perfect way to dive into her universe and add your personal twist.
