The Lulu Louise Quilty Class is officially underwa The Lulu Louise Quilty Class is officially underway! 💕

We're beginning with all the little things that make the actual sewing go so much smoother: getting familiar with the quilt, gathering supplies, walking through the pattern, and choosing fabrics.

Lulu Louise is a beginner-friendly quilt made with simple, efficient strip piecing, and there are three sizes to choose from: Crib, Throw, and Bed. The quilt pattern is included with the class, so everything needed to begin is waiting inside.

Lulu Louise is officially here! 💕🧵 This quilt has Lulu Louise is officially here! 💕🧵

This quilt has been a favorite of mine for years, and I’m so happy to finally have it available as its own standalone pattern.

The new Lulu Louise pattern includes three sizes (Crib, Throw + Bed) and an updated, more efficient strip-piecing method. It’s beginner-friendly, wonderfully simple to piece, and such a fun quilt for playing with color and value.

✨ PDF + paper patterns available now
✨ Lulu Louise quilt kits available too
✨ All quilt patterns are on sale through Sunday!

You can find everything at Meander + Make. https://meanderandmake.com/kits/lulu-louise-quilt/

And if you want to make Lulu Louise along with me, the Lulu Louise Quilty Class begins September 14. More on that very soon! 💕
