Fat Quarter Wall Hanging Quilt – Free Pattern

by

Here is a fun and free quilt pattern that has lots of lovely movement in the design.  Called “Midnight Glow”, it is designed by Connie Kresin and is an easy project to make.

Measuring approximately 24″ x 32″ when completed, it is not a large quilt.  It is an ideal size for a wall hanging.  Because of the lay out of the strips, you can use scraps or various precuts.  What I really love is how just a turn of the block makes everything look so different.

The tutorial includes measurements for a number of different sizes of the blocks.  That way you can make a larger quilt or table runner if you prefer.

Bright and cheerful, I love the fabrics that Connie uses in her quilt.  I also think it would be beautiful so many other combinations as well.  I’m envisioning making one with fall colors.

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:

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:

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.
