Free Scrappy Modern Quilt Pattern

by

Perfect for modern quilters, this beautiful and free pattern is from Splendid Speck.  With its bold and large blocks, it has a striking secondary design.

The finished quilt measures 68″ x 68″ so it is an ideal lap size.  Best of all it is charm pack friendly.  In case you are wondering, a charm pack is a pack of 5″ squares.  In addition to the charm pack, you will need some yardage fore the flying geese and the backing.

I enjoy making lap quilts.  They frequently come together in a relatively fast time and they don’t take up too much room.  I have to say that for those of us who make a lot of quilts, that is helpful.  I have shelves full of them.  Lap quilts get used.  I always have one over the back of a chair or sofa.

This design looks great in any décor too, no matter what fabric you used.

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.
