Fish Quilt Block Tutorial

by

Something fishy is going on around here!  Well not really, it’s just this whimsical Kettle of Fish quilt block from Quilt Therapy.   This design just makes me smile.

The tutorial includes measurements for a 12 inch finished block.  The block does have a lot of small pieces to it, but if you look closely, it is not that difficult to assemble.  I would not suggest this block to a beginner however.  I will tell you right now that there are a lot of half square triangles in this one, but if they are one of your favorites then you should not have any problems.

Make sure to take a look at the designer’s lay out for an entire quilt.  It looks like individual fish swimming among schools of them.  It is a lot of fun and would look great done in some bright tropical colors.

Get ready to go on a trip to the beach or lake with this charming quilt block design.  You can find it here: Kettle of Fish Quilt Block

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.
