This week, we’re revisiting the classic Sticks and Stones Quilt pattern, marking the 15th anniversary of Missouri Star’s patchwork paradise. Join Jenny Doan, the heart and soul of Missouri Star Quilt Company, as she embarks on the delightful journey of recreating this beloved quilt using 2.5-inch strips of precuts fabric.

Staying true to the essence of patchwork, Jenny utilizes a vibrant jelly roll from the Collection for a Cause: Etchings by Howard Marcus for Moda Fabrics. Witness the transformation of scraps into a dynamic piano key border, adding a unique touch to this timeless quilt.

For those inspired to embark on their own Sticks and Stones Quilt adventure, all the necessary supplies can be conveniently found here. The link provides access to the curated collection of fabrics and materials needed to recreate this quilting masterpiece.

Every quilter hits a creative lull from time to time. Maybe you’ve finished a big project and aren’t sure what to start next, or maybe life has been so busy that your sewing machine hasn’t seen daylight in weeks. Fat Quarter Shop’s Precut of the Week has a way of jumpstarting inspiration right when you need it.

Each Monday offers a little surprise — a curated precut bundle that might open the door to a new idea. Sometimes the colors speak to you, sometimes the scale of the prints, and sometimes just the ease of grabbing a coordinated bundle is enough to reignite your creativity.

For even more inspiration, these internal articles pair beautifully with precut sewing:

I love how precuts simplify the process. No fussing with measurements or debating which prints match — just open the bundle, choose your pattern, and enjoy the rhythm of sewing. For a creative reset, charm packs and layer cakes are especially good because they spark quick wins.
