About Scott Flanagan
My quilting journey started at the age of 7 sewing alongside my grandmother making quilts for Lutheran World Relief, but come from a family of crafters and woodworkers. I started 4th and Main Designs in 2011. Since then, my patterns have been frequently found in Quilters World, Quiltmaker, McCalls Quilting, and Fons & Porter magazines. I love the endless possibilities available when designing patterns and get super excited when putting together a project and normally end up with a sample within a day or two. Besides working the various magazines, I have solo authored 4 books for Annies Publishing and am a fabric designer for Northcott Fabrics Banyan Batiks and have released 4 collections so far. As for my favorite part of quilting, really all of it! From designing, to cutting, to piecing, to quilting, to binding (OK that one may be a lie!). But it is all part of the creative process and by skipping a step it feels as though part of the project is missing.
