For those of us infatuated with fabric, a pretty pattern in combination with a unique colour story often results in love at first sight. Whether cut from the bolt, chosen from an irresistible stack of fat quarters or curated from our personal stash years in the making, patterned cottons inspire us with their unlimited possibilities. 

Choosing fabric is simultaneously an act of confidence and a leap of faith. What will it become? A stylish garment? A trusty bag? A quick and fun craft? An heirloom quilt? It could be any and all of the above—and, perhaps even more tantalizing, something we haven’t yet imagined.

Within this idea booklet, I’ll share with you how my third collection from Windham Fabrics inspired me and my friends to sew and make. I hope that you’ll be inspired to explore your own creative potential, too!

(PAPER) QUILT Block
Challenge

Here’s a fun creative challenge! Whether you’re a quilter or not, everyone is invited to play with pattern.

1
Download and print this pdf to play with the patterns from UPPERCASE Volume 2: Dots, Dashes and Diamonds.

2
Design an original or traditional quilt block or use the patterns to create a collage. (Print out multiple copies if you need more of a particular pattern.) You can add solid white or black if you like. The finished designs should be square.

3
Take a square photo of your creation and share on Instagram with the hashtag #uppercaseblock. The creations will be displayed in an online gallery. 

Together, we’ll create a quilt design based on reader submissions. I’ll award some fabric to the favourites. Have fun!
