Choosing Fabrics

Products We’re Loving

FORGING A CREATIVE PATH • Following an internal compass for creativity led Mary Blythe to discover a passion for wool appliqué, rug hooking, and dyeing wool and thread. Handcrafts, it turns out, are her true north.

Fall’s Finery • Combine soft coral, peach, and rust hues with a delicate scalloped border for a seasonal gem.

Magic Continuous Bias Binding • Fabric for bias binding traditionally is cut diagonally, which requires more yardage than other binding types. For less fabric waste, try preparing bias binding using a single square of fabric.

Handmade HEXIES • Experience the joy of hand-stitching scraps to a fabric foundation with the creation of a high-contrast table runner.

Halloween HOOPLA • Use an assortment of novelty prints for a frightfully fun quilt.

TABLE Leaves • Enhance your fall table with a topper featuring appliquéd wool leaves and decorative stitches.

Golden Glow • Use bold Cheddar orange to bring pizzazz to a simple two-color quilt.

SEE THE Light • Gold prints unify a scrap quilt and provide sunny pops of color.

Tips for Stitch-and-Flip Piecing

Swirling LEAVES • Spinning Maple Leaf blocks tumble across a throw in fall-inspired hues.

COLORFUL Confetti • Elevate your next celebration with a table runner that sparkles with bright prints.

Stitch an Accurate ¼" Seam • Never is a consistent ¼" seam more important than when sewing many small squares together, as in this quilt. Here are tips for success.

CRISS CROSS TILES • A distinctive combination of blocks and careful color placement result in a design that radiates from the quilt center.

Back to Basics • Refer to these tips and techniques when you need information to make a project.
