Dear Quilting Superstar,
We’re leaving winter in the rear view and looking forward to sunnier, warmer days ahead—plus some lovely springtime patterns to welcome the new season. Here’s a peek inside the April Issue of We Like Quilting!
Spring Cleaning in Mindful Mode
Some people look forward to Spring cleaning; others dread it. Take a look at your fabric stash. Can you really have too much fabric? Well…maybe. This is a great time to assess your fabric stash in a mindful way. Don’t stress! We’ll give you 7 Tips for Mindfully Decluttering Your Fabric Stash to make it easier to decide what to keep and what to let go. Then you can get on with your next quilting project…
Perfectly Pieced
Spring is perfect T-shirt weather, and now’s a great time to create some quilting magic to take a T-shirt from basic to beautiful. Our Cassidy Quilted T-Shirt Refashion features an evening star quilt block in floral prints with delicate blossoms. Pick your favorite block pattern and give your T-shirt a whole new look!
Some of the best quilting projects come from your scrap stash. Our Wild Orchid Scrappy Doll Quilt Pattern is sized just right for American Girl or Our Generation Dolls—or it can work as a wall hanging. Use coordinating scraps from your stash or customize it for your favorite little girl using fat eighths and fat quarters in their favorite color combinations.
Brighten up your living space for Spring with our Sunnyside Rag Quilt Patchwork Cushion. This project calls for fat quarters in sunny yellows and oranges, and precuts make the quilting go faster. If you haven’t done rag quilting yet, this is a great project to start with. The soft and fuzzy details of this rag quilt cushion will make any space feel just a little cozier.
Symbols of Spring
One of the most inspiring signs of spring is when the first tulips peek out. Make a bouquet of your own blossoms with our Tulip Time Quilted Wall Hanging. Three purple tulips bloom down the center of this lovely wall hanging. The pattern features a sleeve for hanging, so leave these flowers out as long as they make you smile. This fat quarter-friendly pattern is designed with confident beginners in mind. So, stretch your skills—and remember to stop and smell the flowers!
If flowers are blooming, can butterflies be far behind? Bring your own butterflies indoors with our Butterfly Chain Spring Quilt. This cheerful Spring throw quilt is a mix of traditional four patches along with more intricately placed blocks—an ideal skill-building project! Choose your favorite Spring shades and welcome the butterflies with a new throw quilt.
Whimsy awaits with our Snail Trail Quilt Block Pattern. Make this quilt block as bold and bright as you like—the pattern creates a great feeling of movement, and bold, bright colors just enhance that feeling. This pattern is ideal for confident beginning quilters and beyond, and it’s fat quarter-friendly.
The patterns in our April Issue of We Like Quilting range from Easy to Experienced. That means skill and confidence building for beginning sewists, and interesting challenges for the more experienced among us. All these projects are designed to inspire you and brighten your day!
Each pattern in this issue includes a detailed template, pattern notes, and a complete list of the tools and materials you need to succeed. Let the creativity flow with this month’s projects. Let’s get quilting!
