3 Ideas for Holiday Quilts

1. Quilt Kits

A quilt kit takes the work out of planning a design and choosing the appropriate fabrics, yet results in a beautiful and customized piece. Each quilt kit contains specially selected fabric in pre-measured yardage for  that specific pattern. Traditional Hawaiian patterns are an excellent gift idea for the islands. You may also opt for Asian and Ocean themes to impress your friends and family.

Create an easy quilt with a colorful fabric panel: just sew a decorative border around its edge before adding batting and backing. Quilts made with fabric panels make thoughtful holiday gifts for children and adults alike. The variety of themes and designs allows you to choose a panel to match the recipient’s decor.

3. Jelly Rolls

2.5-inch pre-cut fabric strips can be sewn together for an easy quilt. You can create a rainbow of your loved one’s favorite colors and patterns. If you’re unsure about how to match colors, you can also stick to one hue and make an ombré quilt.
