Color Options from Quilts and More Winter 2008

We know you love the projects printed in Quilts and More™. We took inspiration from the magazine and created web-exclusive projects.

Sew Easy Quilt [1]


In a quest to make the easiest quilt ever, we challenged new and experienced quilters to make quilts using the same size squares.

Good Cheer Color Option [6]


All Season Runner

The pieced blocks are the only missing element in this fast-to-sew version of Good Cheer. Fussy-cut squares from Valori Wells’ Olive Rose collection for FreeSpirit are the focus, with big polka dots from Robert Kaufman Fabrics on the side. Valori’s lengthwise stripe border is mitered in the same manner as the floral border in Good Cheer.

Over the Top Color Changes [11]


Quick Change

Make this easy-to-sew bag in prints and patterns to suit your mood and style. Try your hand at unconventional fabric combos by picking a color theme, regardless of the scale of print or floral, from the same family of fabrics. Combining prints of different sizes adds zest and interest to a bag.

Penguin Patrol Color Option [15]


Asian Artistry

For a twist on Penguin Patrol, change the fabrics to suit your mood. Kawaii Asian, a spunky, contemporary take on Far East-meets-Hawaii from Robert Kaufman Fabrics inspired this lively coverlet. We selected four coordinated theme prints—butterflies, stylized flowers, Asian-style lettering, and a wavy stripe print—and unified them with a single print in three complementary colorways.

Warm Fuzzies Color Option [20]


Cuddly Neck Warmer

To make this toasty version of Warm Fuzzies, we used three assorted colors of Minkee Gelato by Benartex. Make your scarf as long as you want by adding extra 3-1/2x6-1/4" rectangles to the rows. Be sure to add extra length to binding as well. For a super quick scarf, use a continuous length of fleece for the reverse side.

Get Scrappy Pincushions [23]


It takes just a few fabric bits and buttons to make tiny pin pillows. Give one away, use one to accent your sewing room, or tuck one in your on-the-go sewing kit.

Get Scrappy Pincushions Color Option [25]


Scrappy Pincushion

Sort through your stash for eye-popping prints to sew up a fun and playful pincushion duo. Make several from seasonal fabrics and they become perfect table favors. Add a hanging loop of perle cotton to make ornaments or package tie-ons for your quilting friends. Cut assorted fabrics for making multiples, then stitch together in assembly-line style. You’ll have a basketful of pin pillows ready for last-minute gifts.

Straight to the Point [28]


Looks are deceiving. Though a diagonal row seems to appear, just two easy-to-sew blocks are straight-set, side by side.

Straight to the Point Color Option [30]


Floral Nine-Patch

Using a stash of assorted florals and complementary small-scale prints, designer Anne Moscicki made Straight to the Point as fresh and lively as a country garden. To make this stash-busting quilt, choose a favorite multicolor print and pull colors from it. Avoid the temptation to match the fabrics; just use a merry mix of colors and prints. Anne used nearly a dozen green fabrics, from pale green and chartreuse to acid green and forest. All add zest and interest. Squares of bright blue sprinkled across the quilt top add an unexpected touch of spice.

Novelty fabrics star in this lively asymmetrical quilt made from easily pieced chunks of fabric.

Storybook Surprise Color Option [34]


Autumn Storybook

If the deep woods have special appeal, you’ll want to make Storybook Surprise in designer Amy Schimler’s fall-tone palette. We used many of the original project’s prints in different colorways, but here we added Amy’s hens and roosters print in place of the yellow print rectangle.

Winter Jewels Color Options [39]


Bold and splashy contemporary fabrics sewn into funky star shapes make for merry ornaments, cherry package tie-ons, and memorable party favors. To rev lively fabric stars up a notch, embellish them with beads, ribbons, or tassels.
