The public television series Fons & Porter's "Love of Quilting" was originally hosted by Marianne Fons and Liz Porter and a co-production with Iowa Public Television. During the 1600 Series, Mary Fons began co-hositng with Marianne. Liz comes back once in while to make guest appearances on "Love of Quilting", so look for Liz on recent episodes. When planning the episodes for the 13-part series, projects and techniques are chosen to demonstrate many different aspects of quiltmaking. Our goal is for every episode to teach you a new trick or method that will make your own quilting easier, more accurate, and more fun. Marianne and Mary are constantly planning a new series and would love to hear your comments about previous programs and any suggestions you have for new programs!

Marianne and Mary Fons explore using “orphan” quilt blocks—unfinished, vintage quilt blocks that you often find at garage sales or quilt festivals. The design is simple and quick enough—Marianne put together not one, but two variations! Marianne brings three quilts, inspired by a set of vintage orphan blocks from the early 1900s, for our discussion. You’ll learn an easy technique for making two Hourglass units at a time, how to pre-sash blocks for a speedy quilt top assembly, and how fabric choice impacts the style of your finished quilt.
