Must-Try Trends of 2019

The end of the years brings out reflective moods and look backs, and it also reminds us that a season for making changes is just around the corner. One of our resolutions in 2019 was to try quilting trends past and present. Now we’re looking back at the Must-Try Trends of 2019.

Trend: Pictorial Blocks – Simple Piecing
What to expect: Learn to design blocks depicting objects using easy to piece 90-degree and 45-degree angles. No fancy tools needed!

Trend: English Paper Piecing
What to expect: Hand-piecing lovers will find all sorts of tutorials and patterns from basic hexies to curved piecing. This is a great trend for on-the-go projects!
