For the whole of 2022 I’ve set myself a challenge: rather than rush to my local quilt store every time I start a new project, instead I’ll shop my stash. After 12 years of hoarded fat quarters, held-on-to scraps and hopeful remnants, this means a lot of prints! We’ve made it our mission this issue to make print mixing a breeze, starting simple with Wendy Chow’s beginner-friendly cover quilt. Meanwhile, Xanthe Grundy’s been transforming pre-loved vintage sheets into a stunning heirloom, Angee Turner’s getting creative with vibrant Ankara fat quarters and Paula Steel has created the ultimate guide to sewing with charm packs. Sadia Nowshin’s also been chatting with nine inspiring designers to find out how they work with colour… maybe you’ll learn something new!

“When I was a kid my mother was preparing a meal and I asked her to put the salad in the green bowl. She replied in a very surprised tone that we did not have a green bowl and asked me to show it to her. Well… the bowl was orange”. This was the first time that quilt pattern designer Augusto García realised that he was colour blind – a challenge that he’s not let get in the way of being able to work as a designer all his life. Augusto has developed many tips to distinguish shades (particularly pale ones) over the years, from checking CMYK composition of shades when working digitally, to referring to fabric names for confirmation and labelling all pieces that might be unclear. A fan…

TRIANGLE TEMPLATES LovePatchworkandQuilting LoveQuiltingMag LoveQuiltingMag www.gathered.how/lovequiltingmag DOWNLOAD AND PRINT FULL-SIZE TEMPLATES www.gathered.how/lovequiltiNgmag 1 Both triangle templates have been designed to work with Jelly Roll strips. However, you can also use the templates with any 2½in strips cut from your own stash. The dashed line marks the seam allowance, for easy fussy cutting. The arrow shows the direction the strip of fabric should run when you’re placing your template. CUTTING TRIANGLES 2 Choose one of your triangle templates and place it on your strip, aligning the flat edges with the length of the strip. Cut along both sides. Turn the template 180-degrees and align with the angled edge of the strip. Cut along the right edge to cut the next triangle (Figs 1–2). Continue cutting in this fashion until you have…

How did you first get into quilting? I wouldn’t say I got into quilting properly until after the birth of my second son. I had pretty bad depression and was trying to hold onto anything that brought me joy, even in the smallest way. I remembered enjoying sewing so I hopped onto Pinterest, trying to find a project to make. After that first quilt (a free pattern from Nicole Daksiewicz of Modern Handcraft) I felt like I was coming back to myself a little bit. So then I made another quilt, and another, and another. And, well, the rest is history. What advice would you give to a beginner quilter? Quilt for the joy of it and let go of perfection! Even the most seasoned quilter has to use the…

IN THE KNOW Working with non-traditional fabrics, or upcycling, is not only an important aspect of the sustainable quilting movement, but it is also a lot of fun. Through upcycling we can take objects that may no longer be used or wanted and transform them into new, valued pieces of art. Here are some things to consider (and a few tips) for quilting with fabrics other than quilting cottons. WHAT TO USE While there are the occasional linens, linen blends, woven and shot cottons found in quilting, quilts are for the most part made with quilting cotton. As a result, anything else counts as non-traditional. This is where it gets fun, because nothing is off limits when it comes to the non-traditional route and upcycling! Think: men’s shirts, cotton dresses,…

Each month, our expert Paula Steel will show you how to make a project using a new and exciting technique! Gain confidence in mixing prints so you can feel at ease when you’re piecing a project with various fabrics from your stash. You may be mixing prints from different collections, different designers or you may have prints in various different colours. The main aim is always to achieve some contrast within the pattern; we also want the colours to complement each other. Paula has made simple sixteen square patches with a checkerboard look to illustrate how the two different methods offer that contrast. HOW TO MIX PRINTS COLOUR GROUPING 1 Colour can be divided in many ways. You can have complementary colours – for example, colours like red and…
