The Quilts I'm Making in 2027 (And Why You'll Want to Join In)

David Moore · 2026-11-05

With the new year right around the corner, it's time to line up another year of quilty adventures. I've got a stack of projects I'm excited to start (and honestly, just as eager to finish) throughout 2027. Below, you'll find everything on my list, from scrap quilts to sew alongs. One heads-up: tune in tomorrow, November 6th, 2026, to the Fat Quarter Shop YouTube Channel. I'll be sharing all my sewing plans for the year ahead in a fun Friday Livestream, and I'd love for you to join me. ### Sweet Woven Stars Sampler – 2027 Scrap Quilt When: Throughout 2027 This one is all about sewing with scraps, and I mean that in the best way. I'm using each fabric only once, sticking to shades of pink, green, blue, and yellow. No darks, no browns, no grays. It keeps the whole quilt feeling light and cheerful. Supplies: - Sweet Woven Stars 2027 Scrap Quilt Pattern FREE PDF - Woven Star Quilt Block Foundation Paper Pad Set - Background Fabric: 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. I'm pairing it with a soft Magic Dot Cloud background, and I think the contrast is going to be lovely. Supplies: - Cath Kidston Signature Collection Fat Quarter Bundle by Cath Kidston for Riley Blake Designs - Background Fabric: Magic Dot Cloud Yardage (SKU# 5230-39) ### Riley Blake Designs Block Challenge 2027 When: Starting January 2027 This challenge runs on a warm, earthy palette. I'm building around the Charmed & Treasured collection, and the latte tones are just gorgeous together. Supplies: - Charmed & Treasured Half Yard Bundle by Kassidy Grace for Riley Blake Designs - Background Fabric: Charmed & Treasured Latte Bows Yardage (SKU# C18163-Latte) and Charmed & Treasured Latte Lottie Yardage (SKU# C18167-Latte) - Sashing: Charmed & Treasured Doe Bows Yardage (SKU# C18163-Doe) - Binding: Charmed & Treasured Gray Evergreen Yardage (SKU# C18166-Gray) - Backing: Charmed & Treasured Latte Main Yardage (SKU# C18160-Latte) Finished size: 76" x 76" ### Daisy Chain Tablerunner Sew Along When: Mondays in January 2027 A quick, satisfying project to ease into the year. If you've never made a tablerunner, this is a gentle place to start.

I'm mixing and matching rows from both patterns, which means the finished quilt will be one of a kind. Supplies: - Hometown Summer Row Downloadable PDF Quilt Pattern by A Quilting Life Designs, also available as a printed pattern - Together Downloadable PDF Quilt Pattern by Chelsi Stratton Designs - Midsummer Fat Quarter Bundle by Sherri & Chelsi for Moda Fabrics Finished size: 51.5" x 61.5" ### Love Language When: January 25 – February 12, 2027 A small, sweet project that's perfect for February. The Je T'aime collection makes it feel extra special.

This is the big one, and it runs nearly a full year. I'm starting with one 10-yard bolt of background fabric, and I'm not using the backgrounds in the kit, so I can make it truly my own. Supplies: - 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 Fabric: Bee Cross Stitch White Pebble Yardage (SKU# C747-Pebble) Finished size: 90.5" x 108.5" ### Heart to Sew Quilt Along When: April 1 – April 29, 2027 Supplies: - Heart to Sew Quilt Pattern FREE PDF by Riley Blake Designs As Lori Holt likes to say, "You can't have too many quilts, only too little fabric." That pretty much sums up my 2027 plan. Which project are you most excited about? Pick one, gather your supplies, and let's sew through the year together.
