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: 🧵 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. 💙 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. ✂️ Helpful Tips & Support If you ever get stuck or have a question while making one of my patterns, I’m always happy to help. Quilting should feel enjoyable, not frustrating—and a little guidance can go a long way. The videos on my YouTube channel, @CountedQuilts, might prove helpful for those just starting out. 🛍 Thank You for Supporting a Small Business Every purchase, review, and shared photo truly means the world to me.

A Counted Quilts twist on an old classic Sunbonnet Sue. The pattern is for a single Sue, but it would be easy to put multiple together for a twin or full size bed.

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.
