Take a look inside issue 169 of Love Patchwork & Quilting

If you haven’t started your festive stitching yet, then this issue is filled with fun ideas to make for family or friends. We are loving the contemporary take on the tradtional Goose in a Pond block. Just by using bold fabrics, you can change the look of the blocks too. Plus, as the blocks are large, this is a great option if you’re short on time with a long to-do list of presents! Also, build your skills with these projects, from a cute FPP fox mini to a folk appliqué stocking and EPP cushion. Again, all small makes so perfect for this busy time of year. And we are planning on snuggling up under the wreath quilt on Christmas eve… not to mention the cute ribbon cushion that accompanies it. Enjoy!

What is the bonus gift included with issue 169?

Economy block templates

Use this issue’s set of templates to easily cut perfect pieces for Economy Blocks – no maths required! We’ve made them just the right size for a 6in finished block, when paired with a cut 31/2in centre square. And they include clipped corners, so there’s no worry about pesky dog ears creating bulky seams. If you’re a fan of fussy cutting, it’s easy to do thanks to the templates’ transparent finish. Or, see our tutorial in the Fabric Fun wallhanging project on p43 to find out how to cut your triangles from strips and squares to reduce fabric waste. Mix and match your favourite fabrics and see secondary patterns emerge in this easy project.

Whether you’re making a single showcase block, or enough for a whole quilt, these templates will have you churning your blocks out in no time.
