Welcome to the website of Lerlene Nevaril.   Many know Lerlene as an artist who creates beautiful quilts; however she is developing a national recognition for her innovative, systematic way of discovering new patterns and designs in quilting.

Sophie Littlefield, of Quilter’s Review, claims that “…Lerlene Nevaril performs design alchemy….she selects primary blocks, removes and rearranges parts to create companion blocks, and finally tosses them all together in seemingly endless variations - and makes the process fun, to boot!”

In her first book, Hidden Block Quilts, Lerlene breaks down the process into easy-to-follow steps, bringing out the designer in you.  Her subsequent book, Crowning Glories, shows how the Arrow Crown block can be transformed into 35 new blocks with countless possibilities for quilts.

Lerlene has been featured on HGTV’s Simply Quilts and is a frequent contributor to McCall’s Quilting Magazine.   She is greatly respected as a teacher, lecturer, and historian of quilts.  Her collection of rare and antique quilts is a must see!  Lerlene is probably best known for her passion for “back art” on quilts…it is hard to distinguish the front from the back on many of her finished quilts.  Her love of back art by her fellow quilters and students has led to the publication of her third book, Over Easy, which will be available in June, 2006.

If you are looking for a one-of-a-kind teacher and artist to present to your Quilt Guild, look no further…Lerlene Nevaril is one of the best!
