the Tapestry Garden Quilt

Tapestry Garden is a modern sampler quilt with themes of flowers, squares and X’s. The quilt interweaves many styles of patchwork in a modern, non-linear way that nevertheless sews together without fuss.

With this quilt I have used color value as the guiding design principle. The pattern will instruct you to use low, medium or dark value fabrics or a unifying solid fabric (coded below in purple). The solid provides visual rest and definition, while the use of value-oriented scraps or yardage makes every quilt unique.

Unlike other sampler quilts, you won’t usually make just one block in each style. Instead, Tapestry Garden invites you to dig into shapes and repeat them for awhile, before moving onto something new. It’s a stimulation combination of novelty and repetition!

Stay inspired and creatively engaged in 2026. Especially if you have fabric scraps, this quilt is a chance to make a little patchwork magic.

Yes, Tapestry Garden is definitely scrap friendly. Right from the start you’ll get a master list of scraps to cut, should you like to work ahead!

Skill level: Suitable for confident beginners and intermediate quilters. During the course of the year, you will learn techniques for color value, applique, foundation paper piecing and curved piecing. No prior experience with these techniques is assumed. Pattern club includes detailed directions. Advanced quilters will also enjoy the journey!

Size: 74” x 84” throw quilt

the Block-of-the-Month Club

Positivities 2024 BOM is a steady stream of patchwork fun. Sew-along with us as we bring this modern sampler quilt to life, sewing group by group of beautifully interwoven patchwork throughout 2026.

The block-of-the-month is thoughtfully paced with December set aside for assembly. Expect to sew the equivalent of three 12” blocks per month. Much of the sewing is traditional piecing, but we’ll also use special techniques in their simplest forms. If you’ve never foundation pieced or worked with curved seams, this is a great way to get a taste for these skills without committing to a large, repetitive project. Gradually your quilting skills build, along with your modern sampler!

For example, each of these patchwork groups is a single month’s task. With Thorn I introduce foundation paper piecing and curves. The techniques are experienced here in their simplest form, ideal for beginners. There is enough to practice while avoiding burn-out, since your pace is likely slow at the beginning. Arches is our block for learning appliqué. There are only 6 appliqué pieces in total to sew for Arches! The curves Iris are also appliquéd, for ease. Beginners, you can do this!

Each month in 2026, you’ll receive an email to download the digital pattern booklet. Also expect tips for making effective fabric and/or color choices with our patchwork ensemble. Plus, I’ll share examples from our Tapestry Garden community, because there are lots of wonderfully different ways to create something beautiful!
