Lulu Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

Today I want to share a quilt that is kind of special to me!

I made it at the end of 2025, but just barely finished the binding.

This is my Lulu quilt pattern, which is based on an antique quilt I once saw.

I designed it in 2016 and have made a few Lulu quilts since then.

It may just be one of the simplest patterns I've designed. It's perfect if you need a quick make!

It comes with 2 size options - lap and twin. This is the lap size.

It finishes at 48" x 64".

It ...

Flora's Baskets (Scrappy Version) - Finished Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

In March of 2023, I shared details about a new quilt I was starting - a scrappy version of my

Flora's Basket quilt. Click HERE to check out that post where I share the inspiration behind the pattern + the cutting instructions for making your own Flora's Basket blocks. You really should check it out, not only for the cutting instructions but the antique quilt that inspired my pattern - is gorgeous!

Wow. Has it really been 3 years since I started this quilt? Some quilts just take time, I guess.

Well today I want to share the details of the ...

Vintage Valentine in Confetti Cotton Solids from A Little Bit Biased

I really meant to post about my original Vintage Valentine quilt before Valentine's Day! Such a bummer that I totally spaced that!!! Is anyone still working on heart quilts? I'm about to start a winter/Christmas quilt...so maybe!?!

I designed this new pattern for a few reasons...

1.) I wanted a timeless (somewhat easy) heart pattern for myself and others. I've designed a few heart quilts over the years and seem to always be chasing the "perfect" heart quilt pattern. Mine are all so different, though, so I guess it just depends on what speaks to ...

Vintage Valentine Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

I have a new pattern to share with you guys today!

I've been working on it for a couple of months now and it's finally ready to share!

And oh, I hope you love it as much as I do! Let me introduce...Vintage Valentine!

Vintage Valentine is a timeless heart pattern that is fat eighth/fat quarter friendly

and comes with instructions for 4 different quilt sizes! I have actually been working on

two different versions (the lighter, cover quilt version in Riley Blake Designs Confetti Cotton

Solids) and a darker version that I'll be sharing ...

Rusty from Prairie Moon Quilts

The 2025 Prairie Moon Ranch Cowboy Christmas Stocking is here!!!

This year’s stocking is named “Rusty” . . .

. . . after the colors I decided to use. I wanted to use these colors, and the name Rusty just fit, so here it is!

Calm, warm colors, with a minimal amount of appliqué, and featuring some hand embroidery, Rusty makes #18 in the series.

As with most of the stockings, there are lots of options:

• You can change the size of the stocking to whatever you need
• You can make the toe point the opposite direction
• You can make it decorated on both sides ...

A Not-So-Scrappy Scrap Jar Stars Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

Hi friends! I'm happy to share a recent quilt finish with you today!

I made this just for fun as I thought it would be beautiful in my own home.

Towards the end of August 2025, I got a wild hair to take one of my most popular patterns,

Scrap Jar Stars and make it not-so-scrappy! I love two-color quilts and thought it would

be fun to see a simplified, timeless version it!

It was love at first block! And it brings me so much joy every time I look this quilt because

all of the fabrics are fabrics ...

Color Play Finished Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

A couple of years ago, my dear friend lost a child. I wanted to do something to let her know of

my love and to brighten her day just a little, so I gave her my original Color Play quilt (below).

It was made out of Riley Blake Confetti Cotton Solids and was very bright and happy.

I thought it suited my friend perfectly.

Fast forward to January of this year, I decided to make a new Color Play quilt for my home

in earthy, fall colors. I found these two prints (below) at the Quilter's Lodge in Draper ...

Every Which Way - Updated Pattern! from A Little Bit Biased

Hi friends! Today I'm excited to share a sweet little baby quilt that I made recently.

I made this quilt for one of my nieces who just had the most darling baby boy!

Her mom told me she likes "earthy" colors so I picked out this color palette of

blues, greens, blacks, browns, and oranges. The prints are masculine and

geometric. There are even some wovens and a chambray to add a little texture.

All of the fabrics came from my stash! I love when I can do that!

I used my Every Which Way pattern, which was one ...

Honey Locust Checkered Spools Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

I recently finished a new quilt called Checkered Spools.

I designed this pattern to go along with my new fabric collection

with Riley Blake Designs called Honey Locust, which is in stores now.

All you need for the quilt top is a Rolie Polie (a bundle of forty-two 2-1/2" x 42" strips),

background fabric and some yardage for the tops and bottoms of the spools.

I used this sky daisy print for the background.

I used the brown and blue hydrangea print for the binding.

And the other two browns (posies and patchwork) were used

for the top and ...

Red, White, and Blue Checkered Spools Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

If you've been around here much, you know

I am a sucker for red, white, and blue quilts!

I was making my Honey Locust Checkered Spools quilt in June and

I just kept envisioning it in red, white, and blue! So I just had to scratch that itch!

I had the white background fabric in my stash. I actually designed that print for

the Riley Blake Designs Hush Hush 4 collection. It was originally a creamy background

with tan stars and they reprinted it in white for their Lights On 2 collection.

The print is called Seeing Stars. I ...

Honey Locust - My New Fabric Collection! from A Little Bit Biased

About a year and a half ago, I began working on my newest fabric collection with Riley Blake Designs. It's called Honey Locust, and I am happy to announce that it has finally shipped to stores!

Honey Locust is an homage to my grandparents, who lived in a cute little house on Locust Avenue in Pleasant Grove, Utah, for many years. Before that, they lived in Laie, Hawaii for 25 years. My grandpa was a cowboy and a history professor. My grandma was a quilter and a homemaker. Their home in Pleasant Grove was on the historic registry, and ...

Stars and Stripes Picnic Quilt from Prairie Moon Quilts

Usually, when I design a Block-of-the-Month quilt, it spawns so many ideas for spin-off quilts that I end up having to make some of them! Such is the case with the Loretta’s Farm and Garden Sampler quilts.

One of the blocks used in Loretta’s Sampler is the traditional block called “Star and Stripe”. When placed next to each other without any sashing, these blocks make a fantastic secondary design. Because of the block’s original name, I wanted to make my picnic size version in red, white, and blue. And I had the perfect bundle for it!

Ciara’s Take Two Quilt from Prairie Moon Quilts

Or, I guess we should call it “Take 40” — haha!

Ciara made this quilt from my “Take Two” pattern for her son (I think). Correction! She made it for her husband for his 40th birthday — and I just love how it came out!

If you zoom in, you can see how she fussy cut the center squares with motorcycle fabrics, so that it’s personalized just for him! I love it!

The pattern is available in my Etsy shop, in both print and PDF versions. And don’t be intimidated. It’s not as hard as it looks. I’ve ...

The Original United Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

Introducing...my United quilt! This is one of the most special quilts I own! Many hands went into making it. It was completed in 2020 so this blog post is long overdue! Keep reading to hear the story behind this quilt...

I am sure you would all agree that 2020 was a rough year for humanity. At the beginning of the year, people started to realize we had a terrifying worldwide Covid-19 pandemic on our hands. Then, a few months later George Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis, MN. police officer. Riots ensued and cities across the country burned. All ...

Feels Like Home Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

Anyone else feeling like they need to finish a few projects before the end of the year? I've got about

3-1/2 quilts to bind so I'll be watching all the Christmas movies for the next two weeks while I try to get those finished! I watched Haul Out the Holly on Netflix while finishing the binding on my Feels Like Home quilt. It was a cute movie about a town that is over-the-top festive and a girl...who is not!

I hosted a quilt-along for this pattern in August and September and enjoyed making it alongside some ...

Bonnie Rose from Prairie Moon Quilts

Meet “Bonnie Rose” — the 2024 Prairie Moon Ranch Cowboy Christmas Stocking!

I name Bonnie Rose after my dear old horse, Bonnie. This year, I wanted a stocking that lets the fabric do a lot of the talking, so I chose a floral focal print for the body of the stocking.

There’s still a bit of easy appliqué and some optional embroidery, too, but this is one of the quicker stockings to make.

The back is plain, showcasing the floral focal print, but you can certainly make your stocking two-sided, if you wish. As with all the stocking patterns, there ...

Family Ties Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

Hello! Today I want to share a quilt that I actually finished a couple of months ago. I got some pictures of it in September but I'm finally blogging about it! It's a free pattern that I designed for the Riley Blake Designs website called Family Ties.

You may recognize it because I shared the original version (using my Feels Like Home fabrics) HERE.

I loved making the original version so much that I decided to make another, bigger one from my stash!

Sweet Flourish from Prairie Moon Quilts

Last year’s mystery quilt at Sew Sweet Quilt Shop wrapped up back in August/September, but I’m only just now finding time to post about it here!

If you participated in their mystery program, then you know what the quilt looks like. But for those of you who did not, here’s the big reveal!

Jessica chose a selection of Art Gallery fabrics, combined with some low-volumes for background, and asked for a medallion-style quilt this time, so here’s what I came up with. Her fabric choices give this quilt a super soft, vintage-y/modern, blended look ...

Scrappy Holidays Quilt Pattern from A Little Bit Biased

I'm so excited to share a new quilt pattern with you today!
It's called Scrappy Holidays and it's available just in time for some festive holiday sewing! I love working on Christmas quilts when it's cold (and preferably snowing outside)! It's so cozy and sort of nostalgic in a way!

Scrappy Holidays finishes at 68" x 84" and is scrap-friendly.

The skill level is intermediate because there are some little pieces on the stockings and stars. Plus, there are some different triangles throughout. BUT, it's really not too bad, I promise!

When you make ...
