Give a Gift
Welcome warm sunshine and vibrant spring and summer colors with the patterns in our May 2026 issue! The patterns and projects in our May issue reflect the changing of the seasons, as well as upcoming holidays, starting with Debi Schmitz’s patriotic quilt pattern. Featuring an array of diamonds in red and blue, this quilt pattern would look so pretty on your porch ahead of Memorial Day weekend. Already searching for Father’s Day gift ideas for Dad? Preeti Harris’s delightful miracle fish quilt pattern is bursting with bright, tropical colors and its playful design will be a hit with friends and family. Mother’s Day is just around the corner but there’s still time to treat Mom to a thoughtful, quilted book cover with Sophie Tarrant’s latest project.
Experiment with color throughout the month of May with Rachel Nielsen’s classic rail fence block. Perfect for creating a gorgeous ombre effect, this beginner quilt block can easily be transformed into a colorful quilt, and Rachel has included two fun quilt layouts for our readers to try. Want to wow your guests at your next family gathering? Janice Bailor’s rainbow runner is a whimsical design that will transform your dining room table into a playful springtime tablescape.
Still searching for more spring projects to make this month?
