Stead has been quilting for about seven years. "In the beginning I was hung up on trying to make something that was completely unique and it took some time to let that go," she says. "Over those years I realized I was really drawn to certain design elements and began to incorporate them into my work. I think that letting go of what I thought I should be making and really embracing what I wanted to make has lead to a very genuine body of work." This pattern is an interpretation of an Amish Bars quilt. Photo 2 of 5 in Abstract Geometric Quilts by Lindsay Stead by Diana Budds
