Gingham Quilt – Free Pattern

by

Looking for a super simple quilt pattern?  This lovely gingham quilt pattern over on Diary of a Quilter may be just what you want.  The tutorial is written by a guest blogger, Elizabeth Chappell.

To make her quilt, the designer uses easy strip piecing.  If you are not familiar with this method, there are plenty of step-by-step photos included.  I’m guessing that, depending on what size quilt you are making, you could piece this quilt top in a day.  Yes, it’s that easy.

The nice thing about it is that it is easy, but, boy is it striking.  The use of three solid colors really sets off that gingham design.  I also love that floral fabric used on the back of the quilt.

You will need to sign up for the Diary of a Quilter’s email list to get the free pdf pattern.

As a quilter, I find it nice to sometimes make a piece that is easy to put together.  It’s a nice break from more detailed patterns.

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.
