All types of quilt patterns
I recently went to a quilt festival and saw some absolutely breathtaking quilts displayed.
These quilts were masterpieces and didn’t look like fabric until you walked up close to view them.
They look like paintings or photographs.
Today, we’re going to discuss and look at some gorgeous art quilts that will hopefully inspire you to step outside your comfort zone for your next quilt project.
When you hear the term “memory quilt” what comes to mind? A family heirloom?
A quilt made in memory of someone who has passed?
Maybe a quilt to commemorate a specific time in someone’s life?
Are you planning on making a memory quilt, but not quite sure where to begin?
In this article, I will show you some unique and creative ways to capture those precious memories you treasure and turn them into a beautiful functional piece of art—a quilt!
I am hoping this will help you think outside of the box and get those quilting wheels turning!
If it’s made from fabric, you can use it to make a memory quilt!
When selecting a quilt pattern, it’s good to know the size of the quilt blocks.
One of the most common block sizes quilt pattern designers choose to use is a 12” quilt block.

When learning beginner quilt blocks, it is essential to master the nine-patch quilt block.

Today, we will go over how to construct a nine-patch quilt block, and I will also show you a bunch of modern nine-patch quilt patterns to inspire you to create your own.
Quilting has many types; every type is unique and a form of art.
One of the most eye-catching types of quilting is collage quilting.
This quilting style is often thought to be too tricky or not “traditional enough” by some, but I’m hoping to show you today how fun and exciting it can be, even for beginner quilters.
In this post, we’ll discuss what collage quilting is, how to do it, and then look at some gorgeous examples of collage quilting patterns.
Have you been thinking about creating your first king-size quilt, but you’re unsure what pattern to choose?
There are SO many quilt patterns out there; it can be hard to decide which one you want to make.
Since we have a vast range of king-size quilt patterns to choose from, I thought it would be fun to narrow it down to just 19 patterns so that even beginners can feel confident tackling them.
