That is my goal as well ladies. Out of curiosity I added up the number of books (20) with 8 in each book for 160 patterns and 76 individual patterns makes 236 patterns. I didn’t take into account that each pattern has 3 different sizes so that makes 708 😮😮🎉
I have spent the last 2 days cutting out 10 kits that I either ordered from y’all or cut from my stash. Now I have to get busy sewing! It’s so great to have your quilts on hand (especially all finished) when I need a special gift!
Do you find it easier to cut all ahead of time? I’ve thought about doing that because I have SO MANY kits that it paralyzes me. I’ve wondered about just cutting them all first. It might take a load off of my mind. It would almost be like ordering pre-cut kits. 😊
I’m in a group with 10 - 12 women at church and most of these are going there for us all to work on. We will use them as needed. If I personally need one I will pay to have it quilted and if the group needs one they will do the same! We joke all the time that I need a 12 step program for fabric addicts!
I have made a few Town Square quilts. I make a lot of quilts with Gnome fabric, so I like the patterns with big squares. I just finished making 2 of your free pattern quilts. The Triangle one and Easy blocks.They were so much fun. I don't like half square triangles but I got it done. It was so easy. I am planning my next 4 already. You have motivated me to use up fabrics I have had for years.
That was fun having everyone pick their go-to pattern and the fabrics. Pretty Simple is probably the quickest 3-yard quilt pattern I have made. Love the images!
One year at our quilt show I had 3 Country Lanes quilts, and each looked so different that one would really need to pay attention to notice that they were the same block. The fabric changes and how set makes so much difference. I'm currently on the "I love 9-patches" mode, I've made a double 9-patch with sashing from 2 " strips, and intend to make another with alternate blocks. In 1800's reprints I've been working on for ages I'm making 3" finished 9-patches set with bleached muslin alternate blocks.
I’m working on my very first quilt, a 3 yard quilt from your book and guess what!? It’s the Town Square pattern. I chose it myself! Exciting that I chose a pattern others love too.
Hi Hannah, I have the same goal for myself to never repeat a pattern in quilts I make. I want to keep trying new things and don’t want to become stuck in a rut. Glad someone else thinks the same way.
Roman Holiday has become my go-to pattern especially for Project Linus quilts. For some reason it is more logical to my brain and i have an easier time choosing fanrics for it.
I love the Quick As A Wink Pattern Book. I used the quilt " In A Flash". I really do want to make another one because I had directional fabric and I did not turn it when I started so I used my darker purple to add 1 1/2 inches to the top and bottom of my short piece.
Too many patterns to try before designating anyone as a go-to. I am starting a Town square this weekend. I like that so many of your patterns have large squares that will make use of layer cakes.
I had a similar idea. I don't have a layer cake, but I was wanting to use several large print fabrics on the large squares, and then a couple of complimentary fabrics with small prints. Showcase bits of several favourite Hallowe'en fabrics. That way I could use all my faves in two different quilts. So neither grandchild can complain that I didn't give him any of one particular fabric.
Hi, We will not be attending the Paducah show. We will be right here working on the two videos we release each week. Sadly, that leaves us precious little time to participate in quilt shows. Have fun at Paducah!
I am like Hannah in preferring bright colors. I just finished a fun disappearing 9 patch with a similar red and black. I love the Batik Blooms, but it is already sold out. 😢Do you ever re- release kits?
Batik Blooms is stunning. All are beautiful, but I think that's my fave
These are great. Thank you!
I'm with Hannah, my goal is to not duplicate a pattern - one and done -always changing and doing something new :)
That is my goal as well ladies. Out of curiosity I added up the number of books (20) with 8 in each book for 160 patterns and 76 individual patterns makes 236 patterns. I didn’t take into account that each pattern has 3 different sizes so that makes 708 😮😮🎉
Wow! It is amazing how many ways you can design 3-yards of fabric to make clever quilt designs!

Roman Holiday is my favourite
mine too!

Thank you, Fran and Donna! And all the ladies! I really like seeing how patterns look with different fabrics. FUN!
Fran has inspired me to not shy away from bold prints!
Town Square is great for team color quilts!
Great idea buffy, I think you're right!
YEAY, THANKS, ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
I have made stepping stones at least three times. It immediately came to mind as my go to pattern!
It's a classic!
Need arcade pat
tern
I love these types of videos that go back and share quilts I've missed in the past. Can't wait to try some of these.
The Roman Holiday quilt in this video has me thinking , that I have to make it next.
That was fun having everyone pick their go-to pattern and the fabrics. Pretty Simple is probably the quickest 3-yard quilt pattern I have made.
Love the images!
You need a part 2 Go To patterns. Button Box is one of my "Go to" patterns.
Love the sunflowers!
My go-to pattern is stepping stones. Why? Because I can actually fussy cut several blocks, which makes it so stunning!

Love the step stones brown quilt so pretty

Love Town Square. I used it with blocks from panels of dragons.
I'm sewing perfect match right now.
I love using different fabric in the same oattern😊
Hi Hannah, I have the same goal for myself to never repeat a pattern in quilts I make. I want to keep trying new things and don’t want to become stuck in a rut. Glad someone else thinks the same way.
Wow! Vibrant Visions looks amazing!
My favorite is Stepping Stones! It shows off a beautiful focus fabric and looks like it took a lot of time to make!!!
Donna’s Building Blocks quilt is very pretty.
Loved your picks tonight especially Arcade and Town Square! 🎉🎉🎉
Can’t wait to make these. Love the fabric choices for each of them.
Beautiful quilt designs
Roman Holiday has become my go-to pattern especially for Project Linus quilts. For some reason it is more logical to my brain and i have an easier time choosing fanrics for it.
Excellent show. I will have to try a few.

Great video with beautiful kits and patterns. I had to buy two kits and one book! Of course, you know I had to have my arm twisted to do so! LOL

Great video
I have made several quilts large and small out of town square pattern!
Love the shirt Fran is wearing! Where can I get one like that? Beautiful!
💛💛💛
Hi! Do you make the quilts that you’re showing in the pictures or do you have some tool that just makes the picture?
Will you guys be at the Paducah quilt show?
I love your fabric choices and patterns, but will wait till the show?
Thanks
Karol
Hi, We will not be attending the Paducah show. We will be right here working on the two videos we release each week. Sadly, that leaves us precious little time to participate in quilt shows. Have fun at Paducah!
But, as a quilter we all have a favorite go-to pattern so I can’t not use one more than once.
I am like Hannah in preferring bright colors. I just finished a fun disappearing 9 patch with a similar red and black. I love the Batik Blooms, but it is already sold out. 😢Do you ever re- release kits?
Hi, Usually, fabrics sell out quickly and limited quantities from manufacturers make it near impossible to replace a kit.
I’m trying the same Hannah. It is hard to not repeat some. For now……..
What is a typical finished size of these 3 yard quilts?
Hi Cindy! We list all of the sizes on the pattern and book pages of our website. But most of our 3-yard lap quilts finish at 45" x 60".
Thank you. I’m on vacation, without my pattern books.
Enjoy vacation! 🥰
Whoops...pattern😊
Where can I get the arcade pattern?
