So. Many. New. Patterns!
Well, one of my favorite pattern shops had a sale and, you know, I bought a bunch. The cool thing about my shopping spree is that YOU benefit! Between those, and several others I had not yet gotten around to listing yet, we have over 30 new patterns for your quilting delights! Here is a sample of our favs!
In addition to all these new patterns, we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to make some helpful changes to our Pattern Library. We’ve created a new landing page so let’s take a moment to explore!
We tagged about 60 of the most popular patterns, as well as a few of our favorites, so you have a starting point isn’t so overwhelming. Check out the ‘Favorites’ page to get inspired for your next quilt!

Don’t worry, you can still see ALLLLL of our patterns. We’ve rearranged them from A-Z, (note - there are two pages worth!) and tweaked the categories a bit so you can hopefully, easily, find something that perfectly fits your quilt.

With all the new quilters starting to use our services, we’ve taken their feedback and added a whole new Pattern FAQ page! Here we try to address some of the common questions and concerns that come up when looking for patterns, as well as give a little insight on what goes on over here in the studio when we are pulling all these elements together. Let me know if there is information you would like to see added to this page!

Beyond those specific landing pages you can visit directly, we are in the process of adding lots of new features!
Quilt Photos: We’ve started the process of adding photos of actual quilts so you can see an example patterns out in the real world. This is a slow process as we don’t have photos of all patterns on quilts, and have to dig through archives for those we do, but it’s happening! Check back often to see more and more as we plug along.
Better Descriptions: It’s important to us that we let you know about the special options and limitations of quilting patterns that might not be super straightforward. Things like the orientation on Swivel Circle or special pricing on Straight Line Quilting. We are adding this information within each description so we are as transparent as possible.
Giving Credit: I have an incredible amount of admiration and appreciation for those out there designing all these quilting patterns we offer. Our goal over the next few months is to make sure we’ve given credit where it is due in our descriptions be it a big name like Karlee Porter, or someone who designs specifically for a shop like Urban Elementz. We also intend to add as much info as we can about the photos we are adding to our patterns, though this slows us down and our priority is getting the photos up first and coming back to add makers/designers.
And last, but certainly not least, are a few points that have always been the case but are totally worth mentioning again! Note: much of this info now lives on the Pattern FAQ!
Let Us Make Suggestions! If you do not enjoy picking out patterns, feel it is too overwhelming, or just don’t want to sit there and go through them all, we are more than happy to present some suggestion. You can either send us a photo of your quilt and we can chat before you send it our way, or you can make a note on your order form and we will send you our thoughts after we’ve had a chance to see it in person.
We Can Purchase More! Don’t see what you are looking for on our site? No problem! Feel free to browse around some of our favorite shops listed below or send us a photo of what you are thinking and I’ll let you know if I can make it happen! There are a lot more talented folks and shops than this, we just don’t want to overwhelm anybody. Please note we do have some limitations to what we will take on due to machine limitations or the alignment of the patterns. Don’t worry about that when browsing, we will let you know if that happens to be the case once you let us know what you are thinking.
TCQ Choice: Like what you see on our IG account? Don’t feel strongly about the quilting pattern? Trust us? We will happily surprise you with a pattern that is perfect for your quilt and save you the trouble of literally everything we’ve discussed thus far. :) Just write ‘TCQ Choice’ on your order form and relax!
Thanks so much for reading through! I hope these new patterns inspire you to send us your next quilt!
-Lilo and the TCQ Family
