Hello Quilty Friends, A new year is here, and I’m so glad you’re quilting along with me! Whether you’re starting a fresh project or finishing up something special, I hope your sewing room has been full of color, creativity, and joy. Here’s what’s new at Counted Quilts this quarter: ๐Ÿงต New & Recent Patterns I’ve added new quilt patterns designed to be bright, fun, and simple—perfect for confident beginners and seasoned quilters alike. Fawn, Light House Night and Day, and American Eagle. ๐Ÿ’™ Color Inspiration You’ll notice I keep coming back to bright, happy colors (especially blues!). The newly redone American Eagle was created with Riley Blake Designs, American Honor, fabric line which comes out this month. And can be pre-ordered on their website. โœ‚๏ธ Helpful Tips & Support If you ever get stuck or have a question while making one of my patterns, I’m always happy to help.

I have a few different cat patterns, was a Cheetah was suggested a while back at a show. I finally gave it a try. It took a few tries to get it right, but I am really please with the result. This one was made in rich batiks, but I would love to try it again in softer colors for a baby's jungle room.
