Curves don’t have to be intimidating! If you’ve ever looked at a quarter circle quilt block and thought, “There’s no way I can sew that,” you’re in the right place. I love a “easier than it looks” project!
In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through my favorite method for cutting, sewing, pressing, and trimming quarter circle blocks. This is the same technique I use in my Understory quilt, but it works with any quarter circle template set. Best of all, there’s no pinning required!
My favorite part of every Block of the Month program isn’t just seeing your beautiful blocks come together—it’s celebrating your progress along the way.

Some quilt designs arrive after months of sketching, revising, and second-guessing.
And then there are the rare ones that seem to walk out of your imagination and onto paper exactly as you pictured them.
Near & Deer was one of those quilts.
Today is the day!
I’m so excited to finally share the patterns and projects created for my newest fabric collection, Winter Haven.

Inspired by quiet winter woods,
woodland creatures, snowy mushrooms, and cozy evergreen forests, this line was designed to capture the peaceful magic of winter without feeling overly “holiday.”
There’s something about winter that makes the world feel softer and quieter. The crunch of snow under your boots. Bare branches against a dusky sky. Tiny pops of red berries and cardinals in an otherwise sleepy landscape. That’s the feeling I wanted to bring into this collection.
