SWEET LAND of Liberty
Basic blocks in red, white and blue that don't have a specific fabric placement make this scrappy patriotic quilt an easy summer project.
Spring Bloom Pincushion
A pincushion can be just as decorative as it is useful. This generous-size pincushion features big bright petals and dimensional leaves that can be used to keep binding clips handy.
Petal Power
This fun throw-size quilt mixes raw-edge–fusible appliqué flowers with simple Nine-Patch blocks. The color placement within the nine-patches creates a secondary trellis pattern.
Turned-Edge Appliqué
You can master beautiful hand appliqué with these easy steps.
Petal Pillow
Pretty appliquéd felt petals spill across this simple springtime pillow. A quarter-circle arrangement of pink buttons serves as the flower’s center and adds extra texture.
Sassy Scotties Baby Quilt
Grab your scrap bag and have fun combining colorful prints for this baby quilt. A traditional Scottie block looks new and updated with bright rainbow colors.
Flowers for Larry
Big beautiful blooms in a rainbow of colors are surrounded by a bright floral border—a lovely garden that will never need weeding!
Butterfly Collection
Colorful butterflies gracefully fly across this throw-size quilt. Did you know they can fly at speeds of up to 30 mph?
Candy Neighborhood
Soft cotton-candy colors are served in Candy Neighborhood, inspiring a rainbow arrangement of trees and houses in this friendly town.
Blue Belle
Choose your favorite fabrics and make this sweet wall quilt in an afternoon. It looks lovely in a monochromatic color scheme, but try it with solids, 1930s, batiks—anything works.
