Editor’s Note March 2026

After the long, gray months of winter, there’s nothing like the first hints of spring to spark a burst of color and creativity — and this March issue of We Like Quilting is brimming with both. From playful pastels to vibrant florals, our newest patterns are designed to bring warmth, cheer, and a touch of whimsy to your quilting projects.

Celebrate the season with Megan Farrell’s charming heart quilt, complete with tiny pinwheel details that make every sashing pop. For sweet, springtime nurseries, Janice Bailor’s daisy baby quilt and Connie Kauffman’s pastel one-block baby quilt are perfect for gifting — or keeping for yourself! Easter preparations are a breeze with Debi Schmitz’s adorable treat bags, and our Dresden plate pan protectors from Debbie von Grabler-Crozier add a whimsical, practical touch to the kitchen, all in soft, spring-ready fabrics.

We also couldn’t resist highlighting a few projects that bring texture and color to any space: Claudia Nicholson shares her string quilting tips, Rachel Nielsen’s pastel mini quilt adds festive charm, and Joy Heimark’s snail trail block invites playful fabric combinations that let your imagination run wild.

Whether you’re crafting for the home, a loved one, or just the sheer joy of stitching, we hope this issue inspires you to embrace spring with every colorful, cheerful block you sew.

Happy quilting,
