My quilty friends, we’ve talked about many things within the pages of this magazine. We’ve covered flannel and linen fabric, cotton and poly thread, we’ve even waved goodbye to conventional batting and ushered in a new era of bamboo, wool, and midnight-shaded batting.

I’m talking about knits, people. Stretchy, squishy, yummy, scrummy, wrap me up in a tight-fabric-burrito-cause-they’re-sosuper-soft knits.
If you follow along with my personal sewing adventures, you may know that I recently started quilting with knits and even designed a pattern that works exceptionally well…
