Setting Patterns

If you haven't tried our line of Setting Patterns yet, then let me tell you just how awesome they are! Setting Patterns allow you to use twelve of ANY 8", 10" or 12" blocks and create a finished quilt!








It's so simple... we designed our new Setting Pattern series with the idea that you can 'fill in the blank' and feature your own blocks. You have the choice of using any 8", 10" or 12" blocks in any of these gorgeous quilt settings.

Just take your existing blocks and pick a setting! The options for using these patterns are endless.

- Have an all-time favorite block? Make 12 and pop them into a setting pattern.
- Create a family keepsake by featuring vintage family-made blocks.
- Create a memory quilt with clothing squares tied together through the setting pattern.
- Use a stack of 8", 10" or 12" UFO blocks to make something beautiful and unexpected.
- Created your very own block designs? Feature them in a setting pattern.
- Use your favorite Layer Cakes, sports team or character fabric squares.
- Love the blocks from another quilt pattern, but not the layout? Use one of our settings instead.

Mix it up with a Sunday Best Quiltworks Setting Pattern! Anything goes!

We have had a ball coming up with these pretties! First we created "Focus on This". It's made for 12 blocks and contains fabric requirements and finishing instructions for using any of your own 8", 10" or 12" blocks. It has a modern feel and can accommodate any color scheme.  Finished size: Using 8" blocks - 57 1/4" x 70 1/2", Using 10" blocks - 68 7/8" x 85", Using 12" blocks 80 1/2" x 99 1/2".




Next, we found "Star Chain" to be an intriguing layout with a more traditional styling perfect for homespun prairie prints and shirtings. It's also made for 12 blocks and contains fabric requirements and finishing instructions for using your own 8", 10" or 12" blocks. I'm thinking I might need to make this one in blues and whites, or in brights! Finished size: Using 8" blocks - 58 1/4" x 71 1/2", Using 10" blocks - 66 1/2" x 82 1/2", Using 12" blocks - 75 1/2" x 94 1/2".

Like donuts, chocolate chip cookies and Hershey's Kisses... sometimes 12 is not enough, you just need one more! So with our next setting pattern, "Baker's Dozen", we widened the setting layout and made room for THIRTEEN blocks in all three sizes. Like all of our setting patterns, "Baker's Dozen" contains fabric requirements and finishing instructions for using your own 8", 10" or 12" blocks. Finished size: Using 8" blocks - 72 5/8" x 72 5/8" , Using 10" blocks - 86 3/8" x 86 3/8", Using 12" blocks - 102" x 102". This beauty would also be gorgeous in solids!


Finally, we decide one setting is just not enough! So with "Goose and Gander", we're offering TWO options for the layout of your quilt. By changing up the background fabrics, you can achieve two entirely different looking projects. "Goose and Gander" is made for 12 blocks, offers two setting options, and contains fabric requirements and finishing instructions for using your own 8", 10" or 12" blocks.  Both setting options have the same finished project measurements. Finished size: Using 8" blocks - 52 1/2" x 64 1/2", Using 10" blocks - 65 1/2" x 80 1/2", Using 12" blocks - 78 1/2" x 96 1/2". The extra highlight with the strip in the border makes Goose and Gander really stand out!



All of these patterns are just $10 each and available on our website, and soon to be available as downloadable .pdf files through Craftsy under Quilting Patterns.
