The 2027 Quilt Projects I Can't Wait to Start (and Finally Finish)

Sarah Miller · 2026-11-05

The new year is right around the corner, and you know what that means — it's time to line up another year of quilty adventures. I've got a stack of projects I'm genuinely excited about, some I'm starting fresh and a few I'm determined to finally finish. So grab a cup of coffee and let's walk through what's on my sewing table in 2027. If you want to see all of this in person (well, on screen), tune in to the Fat Quarter Shop YouTube Channel tomorrow, November 6th, 2026, for a fun Friday Livestream where I'll share every sewing plan for the year ahead. ### Sweet Woven Stars Sampler – 2027 Scrap Quilt This one runs throughout 2027, and it's my love letter to scraps. I'm using each fabric only once in shades of pink, green, blue, and yellow — no darks, browns, or grays allowed. The background is Coriander Seeds White on White X Print Yardage (SKU# 29146-11), paired with the free Sweet Woven Stars pattern and the Woven Star Quilt Block Foundation Paper Pad Set. Finished size: 60.5" x 78.5". ### A Quilting Life Block of the Month 2027 Running January through December 2027, this one uses the Cath Kidston Signature Collection Fat Quarter Bundle by Cath Kidston for Riley Blake Designs, with Magic Dot Cloud Yardage (SKU# 5230-39) as the background. More details will be announced as the year unfolds. ### Riley Blake Designs Block Challenge 2027 Starting in January 2027, I'm working with the Charmed & Treasured Half Yard Bundle by Kassidy Grace. The background uses Latte Bows (SKU# C18163-Latte) and Latte Lottie (SKU# C18167-Latte), with Doe Bows (SKU# C18163-Doe) for sashing, Gray Evergreen (SKU# C18166-Gray) for binding, and Latte Main (SKU# C18160-Latte) for backing. Finished size: 76" x 76". ### Daisy Chain Tablerunner Sew Along Mondays in January 2027 are reserved for this one. I'm using the Daisy Chain Downloadable PDF Quilt and Runner Pattern by Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet (also available printed), plus the free fabric requirements PDF and the Denim & Daisy Fat Quarter Bundle. Finished size: 30.5" x 84.5". ### Midsummer Row Along with Sherri & Chelsi From January 21 to April 29, 2027, I'm mixing and matching rows from the Hometown Summer Row pattern by A Quilting Life Designs and the Together pattern by Chelsi Stratton Designs. The Midsummer Fat Quarter Bundle by Sherri & Chelsi for Moda Fabrics ties it all together. Finished size: 51.5" x 61.5". ### Love Language A quick one from January 25 to February 12, 2027. The free Love Language Quilt Pattern drops January 4, 2027, and I'm pairing it with the Love Language Quilt Kit featuring Je T'aime by Stacy Iest Hsu for Moda Fabrics. Finished size: 24.5" x 28.5". ### Garden Dalliance Sampler Sew Along Starting February 2027, this one uses the Garden Dalliance Sampler Quilt Book by Shelley Cavanna. More details are coming soon, so stay tuned. ### Vintage Block Along This is the big one — March 2027 through February 2028, kicking off for National Quilting Month. I'm using the Vintage Block Along Quilt Book by Lori Holt, the Vintage Block Along Quilt Kit Reservation featuring Family Reunion, and the Family Reunion Half Yard Bundle. For the background, I'm starting with one 10-yard bolt of Bee Cross Stitch White Pebble Yardage (SKU# C747-Pebble) — and I'm skipping the backgrounds in the kit entirely. Finished size: 90.5" x 108.5". ### Heart to Sew Quilt Along Wrapping up the spring, April 1 through April 29, 2027, with the free Heart to Sew Quilt Pattern PDF by Riley Blake Designs. > Every quilt on this list is a chance to learn something new, use up what I already have, and make something worth curling up under. So that's the plan. Some of these are quick weekend finishes, others are year-long commitments, and a couple might just test my patience. But that's what makes quilting fun, right? I'd love to hear which one you're most excited about — and if you're sewing along with any of them, let me know.
