May 19, 2025 by Shellie Wilson

In the world of quilting, there’s a rich tapestry of patterns, each with its own unique story and charm. Among these, Positive Quilts stand out as a symbol of optimism and creativity. These quilts, characterized by their use of plus signs (+) or X patterns, evoke a sense of positivity and brightness in their design.

The history of Positive Quilts dates back to traditional quilting techniques, where the plus sign motif was commonly used to symbolize unity, harmony, and positive energy within the quilt’s design.

It is also a very simple straight cut design making it  a favorite pattern with beginners.

Smart Shopping for Quilters – Monday Precut Fabric Sales

Let’s be honest — quilting is a joy, but it can also be an investment. Fabric costs have crept up over the years, and many of us want to stretch our quilting budget as far as possible without compromising on quality or creativity. That’s why I love Fat Quarter Shop’s Precuts of the Week Monday sale. It’s smart shopping at its finest.

Each Monday, a single precut is offered at a special price. It might be a seasonal collection, a bestselling designer, or a new release you’ve been eyeing. Precuts are already efficient — coordinated, pre-cut, and ready to sew — and a discount on top of that makes them even more appealing.

If you’re looking for smart, budget-friendly quilt inspiration, these CraftGossip resources are must-reads:

  • Scrap-friendly quilts
  • Fat quarter quilt patterns

What I appreciate most about precut deals is that they eliminate the overwhelm. Instead of comparing dozens of bundles, you get one curated offer to consider. It takes the hesitation out of buying and makes it easier to build your stash intentionally.

It’s also a fantastic way to shop ahead for holiday sewing, baby quilts, hostess gifts, and charity projects. Precuts lend themselves beautifully to fast, reliable patterns — especially strip quilts and charm square designs. If you need inspiration, this list is a great jumping-off point:

  • Beginner-friendly quilt ideas

If you enjoy stretching your quilting dollars while still working with high-quality fabrics, add the Monday Precut sale to your routine. It’s a little moment of joy and practicality rolled into one.

Shop smart this Monday
