Editor’s Note February 2026

This February, we’re bringing you a collection of quilts that are as playful as they are beautiful, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Start by celebrating your little one’s first Valentine’s Day with Bea Lee’s Tea with Goslings Baby Quilt, made in petal pink and garnet with Greek square and goose track blocks. Brenda Plaster’s Sydney Bow Tie Quilt transforms a classic block into a dramatic throw perfect for rich reds and grays, while Staci Wendland’s Bejeweled Pinwheel Table Runner sparkles with multi-faceted pinwheel blocks in deep jewel tones.

Add fun and flair with Mallory Hill’s Mon Amour Quilted Heart Zipper Pouch, a date-night-ready accessory and explore Debbie von Grabler-Crozier’s Awaiting Spring Fussy Cut Economy Square Block, perfect for showcasing your favorite fabric prints. We’ve also included beginner friendly and giftable projects like Bea Lee’s Hugs and Kisses Nine Patch Baby Quilt, Sujata Ryan’s Sweetheart Valentine’s Day Quilted Apron, Marian Edwards’ True Romance Valentine Mini Quilt and Debbie von Grabler-Crozier’s Sweet Folk Art Applique Tea Towel.

Whether you’re hand-tying quilts, experimenting with fussy cutting or playing with bold color palettes, this issue has something to inspire every quilter’s creativity.
