6 Quilts to Make for Someone You Love

Hello, my quilty friends!

I love making quilts for people. The whole time I'm cutting and piecing and binding, I'm thinking about who it's for, and then I get to hand it over. 🥰

So I pulled together some of my favorite quilts to make for someone you love. A lot of them are fat quarter friendly, and one of them is a free tutorial!

1. I Love You and I Like You

This quilt literally says LOVE. Nine times! 😍 The name comes from something Dave and I say to each other all the time (it's from Parks and Recreation). It's quick, easy and beginner friendly. You need 9 red fat quarters and 9 low volume fat quarters, plus aqua for the sashing, and it finishes at 64" x 64".

Want it softer? I also made a pastel conversation hearts version.

2. Pineapple Love

Every one of the 20 pineapples has a little heart right in the middle. 🍍 It brings a smile to my face every time I look at it, so it's a great one for someone who needs a little cheering up. You need 20 fat quarters (ten pairs of colors) and 3 yards of background, and it finishes at 54" x 76".

3. Economy Stars

Every block is a sawtooth star with an economy block tucked in the middle. My favorite part is that every fat quarter gets cut the exact same way, so you can pull 20 prints the person you're making it for would love and get going. It finishes at 64" x 80", a nice big size for snuggling.

4. Fat Quarter Pile Up

When I need a gift quilt fast, this is the one I reach for. It's by my friend Kaitlyn at Knot + Thread and it just takes 12 fat quarters. I made four Christmas ones, and a few of them were Christmas gifts. I made one of the tops very early one morning! 😂

5. Happy Christmas

One big scrappy Christmas tree with little red ornaments, a few gifts underneath and a candy cane border all the way around. It's a quilt that comes out every December, and you can make the tree any color. I've made it in pink, aqua and navy too!

6. Patchwork Plaid (free!)
