Current Quilt Design Trends (Spring–Summer 2025)
Modern Folk Art & Whimsy
- Quilts are featuring hand-drawn, storybook-style motifs—think birds, houses, florals, and animals.
- Designers are blending folk influences with bold, modern layouts.
- Color palettes: soft earth tones with pops of saturated color (e.g., ochre, rust, teal).
Raw Edge Appliqué & Laser Cut Kits
- Increasing popularity of pre-fused, pre-cut kits (like our Laser-Cut kits).
- Emphasis on layered depth, texture, and time-saving convenience.
- Creators love using these in wall hangings and seasonal décor.
You know we have the hookup for laser cut kits! ;)
Neutral Foundations + Colorful Accents
- Neutral or tone-on-tone backgrounds (grays, creams, taupe) with bright appliqué or patchwork elements.
- Makes designs feel clean and contemporary while still playful.
Nature-Inspired Motifs
- Leaves, animals, landscapes, and celestial elements are very in.
- Many are embracing “quiet luxury” inspired by hiking, forests, or cottage-core aesthetics.
Traditional with a Twist
- Classic blocks (Log Cabin, Bear Paw, Ohio Star) are being reimagined with asymmetry, negative space, or unexpected color combos.
We'd love help you craft one of a kind quilt kits!
