What inspires you first… Â fabric collections or the quilt design? I must admit that I’m drawn to bright colors of fabric in precuts like jelly roll strips, fat quarter bundles, charm packs, and layer cake stacks. You’ll notice that many of my new quilt patterns are designed for precut fabrics, scraps, and fabric squares.
Make sure you take advantage of the search box in the sidebar to search the archives for a specific pattern or quilt block.

Have you ever bought panel fabrics at the quilt store because they are so cute or beautiful and then you need ideas for sewing them into a quilt? Look no further!

Each panel image is framed to set it apart. This also gives you some flexibility in case your panel pieces are not the same size as these.
