A Wholehearted Crib Size Quilt

 Hello friends today I'm sharing a sweet little crib sized Wholehearted quilt made from a new fabric line from Poppie Cotton.

Wholehearted quilt pattern details


Honestly it's been delightful working with these spring-colored fabrics this week. It reminds me that spring (and the flowers it brings) is just around the corner! 

Wholehearted is a sampler style quilt pattern that is fat quarter friendly and includes four size options. This little quilt is the crib size and used just 6 fat quarters along with some background fabric.

Mod Mugs the Ombre Version

 Today I'm sharing a version of the Mod Mugs quilt pattern. I used Ombre Flurries fabrics, and I love the frosty, wintery vibe of the finished quilt.

Mod Mugs is a fun and modern mug quilt that is traditionally pieced (no templates or paper piecing needed). The mugs are large enough to let some of the color variations of the ombre prints shine through. 

You could also do some fussy cutting for each mug, or use your favorite medium or large scale prints. I shared a Christmas version of Mod Mugs here.

Plot Twist is a precut friendly pattern that includes five size options. It's a really versatile quilt pattern that looks great in medium and large scale prints, but can also work well with smaller scale prints and even solid fabrics!

Prime Time Baby Size Quilt

Hello everyone! Today I am sharing a baby quilt that I finished up a couple months ago, but realized that I hadn't shared it here yet! This is the baby sized Prime Time quilt made with Berry Basket fabrics.

I made this using the leftover pieces of fabric from another project - which always feels so good to do!

A few months ago, I had just finished up making a quilt for a magazine (which I'll share soon) and I loved these fabrics so much I didn't want to just add them to my scrap bins. I realized that with some.... creative cutting I could squeeze a baby quilt out of the leftovers. Don't you love when that happens?

Cheer Up Quilt Christmas Version

Today I'm sharing a Christmas version of my Cheer Up quilt pattern. I started this quilt as a sample for my Garden of Quilts class that I taught this year, and was happy to have a good excuse to get it done in time for Christmas!

For this Christmas version of Cheer Up, I started with a few prints from the Good News Great Joy fabric line (by Fancy That Design House / Moda), and then I wandered around one of my local quilt shops to gather a few more that coordinated. The last few prints were added from my stash. And I'm really happy with the final combination!

Maple Leaf Quilt Block Tutorial

Today I'm sharing a tutorial for these classic Maple Leaf quilt blocks!

Before we get started, I want to let you know that there's a free printable version of these instructions available here. I've included two sizes for you, a 9 1/2" block and a 12 1/2" block.

Want to see what you can make with these blocks? Be sure to scroll to the end to see the quilt I made using the 12.5" blocks.

For this example I'll be using a single print to make one block but these Maple Leaf blocks are also really fun as a scrappy block. So pull out those scraps and give it a try!


Here's what you'll need for one 12.5" x 12.5" block

  • 4 print squares, 4.5" x 4.5"
  • 2 print squares, 5" x 5"
  • 2 background squares, 5" x 5"
  • 1 background square, 4.5" x 4.5"
  • 2 background squares, 4" x 4"
