The 2027 Quilt Lineup That Has Me Reaching for My Rotary Cutter

Editorial Team · 2026-11-05

The new year is practically knocking on the door, and you know what that means — time to line up another year of quilty adventures. I've been sketching, sorting fabric, and second-guessing color choices for weeks now. Below you'll find the projects I'm genuinely excited to start (and, let's be honest, determined to actually finish) throughout 2027. If you want the full rundown in person, I'll be sharing all my sewing plans on the Fat Quarter Shop YouTube Channel in a Friday livestream on November 6th, 2026. Grab a coffee and come hang out. ### Sweet Woven Stars Sampler – 2027 Scrap Quilt **When:** Throughout 2027 This one is all about scraps, and I mean *all* about them. I'm using each fabric only once, sticking to shades of pink, green, blue, and yellow — no darks, no browns, no grays. It's a fun constraint that forces you to get creative with what's already in your stash. - Sweet Woven Stars 2027 Scrap Quilt Pattern (free PDF) - Woven Star Quilt Block Foundation Paper Pad Set - Background: Coriander Seeds White on White X Print Yardage (SKU# 29146-11) **Finished size:** 60.5" x 78.5" ### A Quilting Life Block of the Month 2027 **When:** January – December 2027 A full year of blocks with the Cath Kidston Signature Collection — yes, please.

Stay tuned. ### Vintage Block Along **When:** March 2027 – February 2028, kicking off for National Quilting Month This is the big one. A year-long commitment, and I'm going all in. - Vintage Block Along Quilt Book by Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet - Vintage Block Along Quilt Kit Reservation featuring Family Reunion by Lori Holt - Family Reunion Half Yard Bundle by Lori Holt for Riley Blake Designs - Background: Bee Cross Stitch White Pebble Yardage (SKU# C747-Pebble) — I'm starting with one 10-yard bolt and skipping the backgrounds in the kit **Finished size:** 90.5" x 108.5" ### Heart to Sew Quilt Along **When:** April 1 – April 29, 2027 A free pattern from Riley Blake Designs to close out the spring sewing season. Simple, heartfelt, and a great excuse to sew something for someone you love. > A year of quilts isn't about finishing every single one. It's about showing up to the machine, one block at a time, and letting the process teach you something. So that's the plan. Some of these will come together fast, others will stretch across the whole year. Either way, I hope you'll sew along with me — and if you're tackling your own 2027 list, I'd love to hear what's on it.
