Try something new, and then…

Try one of the new quilt patterns featured this week and if you like it, try another by the same designer. It’s like finding an author you like and a whole new world opens up to you.

Just Like Sunshine by Toadusew Designs will use your scraps, or grab a bunch of fat quarters. Four sizes are included, from Baby to Queen. The quilt is strip pieced and should go together quickly.

If, after you make this quilt, you like this designer, you might want to try another by Toadusew. Garden Gate would be a good choice. You don’t need to be very experienced to make this quilt but it’ll look impressive when you are finished. The blues and tans look pretty as shown, or try rose and greens, or gold and cream, or…

Summer Fun by QuiltWoman is new this week. Here’s an on-point layout that doesn’t require you to sew setting triangles. Try reversing the white and black fabrics for a different look.

And if you like this method of making an on-point quilt another one to try is Contra Dance by QuiltWoman. Again, you will not need to sew any setting triangles. What a great way to make your first on-point quilt. This pattern includes instructions for six sizes, from Baby to King. Fair warning, if you like this designer you are going to be sewing forever – so many, many patterns from which to choose!
