Playful Panels Quilt Pattern Mockups! from Busy Hands Quilts

Today I'm sharing mockups of the newly released Playful Panels quilt pattern! This is a eye-catching pattern written for preprinted panel squares but also includes instructions for using a focus fabric instead of preprinted squares.

Below are current fabric collections that have panel squares in the sizes needed for Playful Panels. You'll love that the pattern is written for any size of square from 8.5" to 10.5", with instructions on how to upsize the squares to the size needed to fit into the quilt top.

Hometown Stars Quilt Pattern Mockups! from Busy Hands Quilts

Hometown Stars is the featured quilt pattern this week, and I have mockups in newer fabric collections to share with you today!

Creating mockups in newer collections doesn't necessarily mean you have to buy more fabric (but hey, that's totally legit, too!) You may have these color schemes in your stash already, and these mockups could be the inspiration to pull them out and put them together in the ...
