Lo & Behold Stitchery has quite a few quilt patterns that you can whip up very quickly…even in one weekend. I’ll (quickly!) walk you through some of our quickest quilt patterns, from pretty fast to lightning fast.

When I first published the Ombre Puff pattern and tutorial in 2020, I had no idea how popular it would be! In this blog post, you’ll find everything you need to know about sewing your own Ombre Puff quilt. There’s a lot of information, so you can use the jump links below to navigate to what you need. Happy quilting!

My newest quilt pattern, Petite Plaid, uses strip sets as part of the block construction. A few quilt sizes will have remnant strip sets after creating all of your blocks. Instead of adding those strip sets to the scrap pile, why not turn them into fun quilted coasters? 

The majority of quilt patterns instruct you to cut WOF strips…but most of them assume you already know how to do that. Whether this is your first time encountering the term “WOF strips” or you just want to perfect your cutting technique, I’m here to help!

This block pattern creates an 8.5” unfinished block, which means you end up with an 8” finished block.

I’m back with another Ruby Sue quilt…and I’m so excited to share about the inspiration, the colors, and the very special quilting.

This block pattern sews up an 8.5” unfinished block, giving you a finished 8” block size.

I love finding ways to use up all my fabric scraps…and I especially love a scrappy quilt! That’s why Lo & Behold Stitchery has hosted a Summer Scrap Bash for the past two summers. It’s so much fun AND a great way to bust through even the biggest scrap pile! Our 2025 Summer Scrap Bash has ended, but you can still download all four of our FREE scrappy quilt block patterns...

It’s been almost a year since I sewed up my last Mosaic Star quilt, so I’ve been itching to make another one. Meet the Blossoming version!

"How do I get started with quilting?" and “What are your favorite quilting tools?” are two of the questions I get asked the most…and two of the questions I have strong opinions about! I am so happy to share some of my favorite supplies with you.

One of my favorite parts of releasing a new quilt pattern is showing you some of the many possibilities and inspiring your own versions. So today, I’m excited to share another sample of our Mountain Horizon 2.0 quilt pattern…the Cascade version!

The completely revised Mountain Horizon 2.0 pattern is out now in both PDF format and as a printed pattern! This quilt pattern has been a long time coming, so I’m excited to tell you about what’s new, what’s the same…and to show you the stunner of a cover quilt!

If you’ve never used a template to make a quilt pattern before, they can seem pretty intimidating! We get so used to cutting with our rulers, so templates can feel like a real curveball…especially since it may also be your first experience cutting curves! To help you get started with templates, I want to share a few pointers that should make your experience a bit more enjoyable...and accurate!

From wall hangings to king size quilt patterns (and everything in between), there are so many options when choosing your next project. This guide offers a practical overview of the most common quilt sizes. 

Discover how different fabrics affect your quilt's drape, look, and cuddle factor.

All of these ideas are free, scrap-friendly and fast…so you can sew up enough gifts for all the teachers on your list before summer starts!
