Designer Challenge: Part 1 and Part 2

How good are you at recognizing designer patterns, styles, fabrics, and works by famous people, etc? If you have been a follower of my blog, for awhile, you probably know I've been trying to build my skills in being able to recognize designers by their work (and ultimately the work of their students).

In part one of Designer Challenge posts, I share photos of quilts made by the designer that I'm showcasing in this challenge. The challenge is to see if you can look at the collection of photos I'm sharing and correctly guess who the designer is.

The first person to correctly guess the designer of this quilt will be recognized in part two of this post, as well as be recognized on Designer Challenge Page of my blog.

This post will be updated (aka Part 2), once someone has correctly guessed who the designer is. If, no one correctly guesses the designer, within a reasonable time, I will add more clues, with the goal of closing this challenge within 24 hours of this post.

PART II 

Who Guessed it: Julie (non-blogger)

Who is this designer: Kari M. Carr (New Leaf Stitches)
