When I made my first quilt almost 70 years ago, there was one fabric option.....scrap leftovers from making clothes. Later on a second option if you could afford to buy fabric just to make a quilt.....a print, a colored solid and white or muslin. And now, with your patterns and inspirations plus the variety of fabric available, white and/or a solid color is the exception, not the rule. Thanks so much for freeing up our imaginations!

Hi Patty! Thanks so much for watching 🥰 The finished size will vary slightly based on the pattern, but most of our patterns finish at 45" x 60" but can be upsized to a twin or queen/king with additional yardage.

I have made 44 three-yard quilts in the past three years. The first one was "It's a Snap". I have made Town Square 9 times. Most of them are charity quilts and a lot of quilts for babies and neighbors.
