Scott Flanagan’s quilting journey started at the age of 7 sewing alongside his grandmother making quilts for Lutheran World Relief. He came from a family of crafters and woodworkers. He started 4th and Main Designs in 2011. Since then his patterns have been frequently found in Quilters World, Quiltmaker, McCalls Quilting, and Fons & Porter magazines. He has two strong quilting philosophies: (1) A quilt is only hard if you have been told it is hard beforehand and (2) you learn some of the best lessons from the mistakes made along the quilting journey. With those two thoughts he strives to write patterns that no matter how hard they look a confident beginner with sewing experience could handle.
