THIS WAY AND THAT WAY QUILT PATTERN | MAKE 3 QUILT SIZES + A TABLE RUNNER

 


Use your 2.5" scraps or jelly rolls you've yet to open to make this fun and easy quilt!


This Way and That Way was originally designed as a baby quilt pattern only. But the pattern instructions have been updated and now include fabric requirements and cutting instructions for a table runner and baby, twin, and full-size quilts!


It was designed to make the most out of 2½" precut strips, and works well with both scrappy and coordinated fabric collections. 


It's ideal for quilters looking for a fun, visually appealing, and simple project! 

The pattern is available in my Etsy shop by clicking the button at the top of this post or HERE. 

Kelly @gilenest on Instagram made a fun Christmas version that you can see HERE. 

The fabrics used in the quilt pictured here are from Beverly McCullough of Flamingo Toes, called Sweet Acres—sold in 2024.

EASY JELLY ROLL FRIENDLY - THIS WAY & THAT WAY QUILT in CHRISTMAS FABRICS

 


The This Way and That Way quilt pattern is such a versatile pattern that you'll use again and again!  This Christmas version was pieced by Kelli @gilesnest on Instagram. And it's so dang cute!


The pattern was designed to make the most out of 2.5" precut strips, including 2.5" strips left over from other projects. You can totally make this quilt as scrappy as you'd like. 


This pattern is a fun project, beginner-friendly, and easy to stitch up. The pattern has instructions for 3 different sizes of quilts and a table runner. 


Kelli's version was made with fabrics from two different jelly rolls. 1) Reindeer Games by Me and My Sister Designs and 2) Holiday Cheer by My Minds Eye. 


I chose a swirly snowflake panto for Kelli's quilt, and it looks so good on her quilt. Here is a photo I took while the longarm was busy quilting her quilt.

THE BRIGHTLY QUILT PATTERN BY CLUCK CLUCK SEW | A FESTIVE CHRISTMAS QUILT WITH PATCHWORK STARS



The Brightly Quilt Pattern by Cluck Cluck Sew is such a vintage and cheerful, but modern, design that shines in any fabric combination! 

My version was made with the Swell and Sweet Christmas collections by Urban Chiks for Moda Fabrics, giving it a nostalgic holiday charm with a fresh twist. 

I quilted it with the Easy Orange Peel Panto, that added a perfect vintage vibe to match the vintagey fabric!


I think I might have to make this one again, maybe in wintery blues and greens! It's such a fun one to stitch up. 

You can find the Brightly Quilt Pattern in Cluck Cluck Sew’s Etsy Shop

FESTIVE PINWHEELS & PRAIRIE POINTS TABLE TOPPER | A QUICK HOLIDAY QUILT PATTERN


Did you catch the fall Pinwheels & Prairie Points table topper I shared on the blog a few days ago?



I couldn't resist making a Christmas version! I swapped out the fall fabrics for a mix of merry reds, soft greens, and a peppermint twist binding that makes this version so sweet! 
 

What is it about those prairie points? They just add the best unexpected touch. 


I had fun quilting this topper on the longarm with super dense swirly snowflakes. P.S. I quilted it before I stitched the prairie points along the border. 


A Fig Tree holly print was my starting point, and from there I pulled coordinating fabrics from my stash. Most aren’t Christmas prints, but with a few holiday pieces mixed in, it all feels perfectly festive without trying too hard.


You can find the pattern in my Etsy shop; click on the button to head there!

A CHRISTMAS EVE TRADITION | DEAR SANTA MUG RUG FOR COOKIES, COCOA, AND LETTERS


The Dear Santa Mug Rug pattern is a Pleasant Home classic. It's the perfect handmade holiday keepsake. 


It's quick to piece and so much fun to spend a little time stitching the embroidered pocket. 


This little mug rug is perfect for leaving milk, cookies, and a letter for Santa. 


It will be that sweet tradition that makes an appearance every Christmas Eve. 


You can find the pattern in the Pleasant Home Etsy shop. If you make one and have an Instagram account, be sure to share and tag Pleasant.Home!

A QUICK FALL QUILT PATTERN | A COZY PINWHEELS AND PRAIRIE POINTS TABLE TOPPER



The pinwheels and prairie points baby quilt was one of the first patterns I wrote, circa 2009, and one of my most popular patterns. Last year I finally sat down and drafted a pattern for a table topper with pinwheels and prairie points! It's been in my head forever. 


This design is simple and so much fun to make, and it’s the perfect size for a table topper—measuring approximately 20" x 28" finished. I quilted it on the longarm using the Autumn Oaks panto, which adds the sweetest touch with its tiny acorns.


If you haven't made prairie points yet, don't be afraid! They're easier than you might think. 


I think the prairie points around the edge add a charming little pop of personality to the topper. 


You could switch up the fabrics and make one for any holiday or season—cozy for fall, festive for Christmas, bright and cheerful for spring, or patriotic for summer. 



The pattern is available in my Etsy shop—click the button to visit Pleasant Home on Etsy.
