Corey Yoder's New Quilt Book Is Basically Sunshine in Print

David Smith · 2026-10-23

Corey Yoder has a knack for making fabric feel like a warm afternoon, and her newest quilt book leans all the way into that feeling. Sunroom Sampler is landing this spring, and it's built around her Sunroom fabric collection for Moda Fabrics. If you've been waiting for a project that brightens a room the moment it's unfolded, this one is worth a look. Inside the book, you get a full sampler plus three additional quilts. Every design is meant to pull that warm, vibrant palette straight into your home, whether you're dressing up a reading nook or adding color to a plain wall. Keep reading for a peek at some of the blocks and a quick rundown on how pre-orders work. ### A Sneak Peek at the Blocks Five of the blocks from the book are already out in the wild as teasers, and they give you a real sense of the range. Some lean soft and airy, others bring a little more punch. That mix is the whole point of a sampler: you get to play with contrast and color without committing to one single motif for an entire quilt. More teasers are rolling out on social media between now and Spring 2027, so if you like following a project as it comes together, there's plenty more to come. ### What's in the Sunroom Sampler Quilt Kit Planning to sew along in the new year? The quilt kit is available to pre-order now, and it bundles the essentials in one go: - A copy of the Sunroom Sampler book - All the fabric you need for the quilt top - Fabric for the binding That means fewer decisions at the cutting table and more time actually sewing. If you've ever ordered a pattern and then spent an evening hunting down yardage, you know how much of a difference a complete kit makes. ### Why a Sampler Is a Smart First Project Samplers get a reputation for being fussy, but they're honestly one of the friendliest ways to build skills. You work through a handful of different blocks, each one teaching you a small technique, and by the end you've got a quilt that shows off everything you learned. It's also forgiving. If one block comes out a little wonky, it disappears into the whole. As Corey puts it, the goal is simple: bring a little sunshine into the room. That's a pretty good brief for a quilt. ### How to Join In Pre-orders for both the book and the quilt kit are open now. Follow along on Facebook and Instagram for updates, and use the hashtag #SunroomSamplerQuiltBook to share your progress and see what everyone else is making. Spring will be here before you know it, and there's nothing like a fresh stack of fabric to make the wait feel shorter.
