Natalia Whiting Bonner has enjoyed piecing quilt tops for more than twenty years. She learned how to quilt on her conventional home machine. She felt good about it, but decided that if she really wanted to take her quilting to the next level, she needed to invest in a longarm machine. In 2007, when she was pregnant with her daughter, she got the crazy idea to quit her job as a dental assistant and become a longarm quilter. Without really knowing what a longarm machine was, she spent a day at a longarm dealer’s shop and walked out after purchasing a Gammill machine. Natalia’s passion for quilting and being creative has grown each day since. Shortly after her purchase, Natalia began blogging at piecenquilt.blogspot.com, and blogging became her connection with other quilters and fellow work-at-home moms. By 2009, her quilting business had grown, and it was time to leave the tiny, poorly lit bedroom where she had been doing all her quilting. Natalia moved into a studio at her parents’ home, and with the inspiration of her mother, Kathleen Whiting, she has realized that the sky is the limit. Whether it’s working on an intense show quilt or a simple baby quilt, Natalia has become a real quilting addict. She has won numerous awards for her work and has been featured on Moda Bake Shop, in Quiltmaker Magazine and American Patchwork & Quilting Magazine, and in books such as Fresh Fabric Treats: 16 Yummy Projects to Sew from Jelly Rolls, Layer Cakes & More with Your Favorite Moda Bakeshop Designers and Modern Blocks: 99 Quilt Blocks from Your Favorite Designers (both from Stash Books, an imprint of C&T Publishing).

These 20 quilts are a modern development of traditional Log Cabin blocks. They are simple blocks in clear bright colours. Only three techniques are used, Snowball block, half square triangles and pieced strips. There is an introduction to assembling the quilts but no quilting instructions, nevertheless the clear photos show the quilting designs. Each quilt has three size options; baby, a throw (60" by 72") and a bed quilt plus some cushions. There are alternative colourways for each quilt. It would be suitable for a beginner as the instructions and diagrams are easy to follow.
