For the Week Ending February 7, 2026
Some weeks have a theme, and this one is loud and clear — timeless quilts, scrappy goodness, and lots of love for Kim Diehl. From a classic free pattern quilters never tire of, to rich fat quarters, a star-filled quilt kit, and a video that sparked a sell-out, here’s what our community couldn’t get enough of this week.
Download of the Week: Triple Irish Chain (Free!)
The Triple Irish Chain continues to prove that classic never goes out of style. This free downloadable quilt pattern combines timeless tradition with bold, graphic impact, making it a favorite for quilters of all skill levels.
Finishing at 74½" square, this quilt works beautifully for scrap quilting or for showcasing a carefully chosen color palette. Clear, step-by-step instructions guide you through strip sets, block construction, and final assembly, making it an approachable and satisfying project whether you’re new to quilting or a seasoned stitcher.
This is the kind of pattern that becomes an heirloom — familiar, flexible, and endlessly customizable.
Favorite Fat Quarter Bundle: Love Struck by Kim Diehl
Our most-loved fat quarter bundle this week comes from Kim Diehl’s Love Struck collection for Henry Glass Fabrics. This 16-piece bundle is rich, warm, and full of charming detail.
With a color palette that includes golden yellow, chestnut brown, plum, chartreuse, aqua, and peach, these prints feel like a stroll through a garden. From tulip tosses and daisy wreaths to subtle textures and leafy motifs, the fabrics coordinate effortlessly and shine in both scrappy and planned projects.
Fat quarters are quilters’ candy, and this bundle makes it easy to mix, match, and fall in love with your fabric all over again.
Favorite Quilt Kit: Love Struck Star Garland Quilt Kit
It’s no surprise that another Kim Diehl design landed in this week’s favorites. The Love Struck Star Garland Quilt Kit delivers bold stars, graceful movement, and classic appeal in a finished quilt measuring 70½" × 72½".
This thoughtfully curated kit includes all the fabric needed for the quilt top and binding from the Love Struck collection, along with the free downloadable Star Garland pattern by Kim Diehl. The result is a striking quilt with strong visual impact — without complicated construction.
Whether you’re making a meaningful gift, a seasonal throw, or a statement quilt for your home, this kit brings confidence and beauty to your sewing room.
Favorite Video of the Week: Scrappy-Do Table Runner
Our most-watched video of the week focused on the charming Scrappy-Do table runner by Pieced Tree Patterns — and it sparked a sell-out of our Kim Diehl Scrap Basket version of the kit.
Scrappy-Do finishes at 12" × 32½" and is a perfect project for using 2½" squares and leftover fabrics. It’s beginner-friendly, quick to stitch, and endlessly adaptable for seasonal or everyday décor.
In the video, we also shared some exciting news: five all-new Scrappy-Do table runner kits are coming, including one made with Kim Diehl Love Struck fabrics. These new kits will be unveiled on Tuesday, February 10, and they’re already creating buzz.
