The Carpe Diem quilt – with its twist on the traditional hourglass block and its symbolism of time – serves as a reminder that the future is never guaranteed; and yet, what we do with the present shapes our tomorrow. By holding and reconciling these seemingly contradicting truths, we can work toward finding purpose, hope & joy in each day. This extremely versatile design has simple, standard construction and offers a multitude of ways to use fat quarters, fat eighths, scraps, or whatever is in your stash.
