Poinsettia Quilt Block Free Pattern

by

 

At the holidays you will find brightly colored poinsettias all around my home.  They are a tradition for our family.  That is why I did a double take when I saw this pretty poinsettia quilt block from Epida Studio.  What I really like about this design is that it is an appliqué pattern.  I don’t do a lot of appliqué, but every now and then I like to give it a try.

I definitely need to add a poinsettia quilt to my collection and it might just be made with this block.

Made with fusible webbing, the designer’s block measures about 4 1/2″.  However, one could easily adjust the scale of the pattern depending on how it is printed.  Along with the standard quilt supplies, you will need fusible web.

The designer provides step-by-step instructions in the tutorial, even including directions on tracing the pattern. You can finish it with machine or hand embroidery and she explains both methods. I particularly like the way she used the flowers in her table runner pictured at the end of the article.

For those of you who like appliqué, this is an easy pattern to make.

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.
