Customer Reviews
Sarah Miller
I purchased a Fat Quarter Bundle from the Butter Churn Basics line to craft a scrappy lap quilt for my living room. The 100% cotton feel is exceptionally soft yet sturdy, and the subtle cream and tan tones blended seamlessly with older fabrics already in my stash. Cutting through the pre-coordinated squares saved me hours of color matching, and the finished quilt has that perfect warm, heirloom look.
Hannah Jenkins
Finding a backing fabric that doesn’t disrupt the design of a vintage-style quilt can be tough, but the 108″ Wide Backing in a muted sage print was a game-changer. The extra width meant I could sandwich and baste my queen-sized quilt without sewing two separate panels together. The fabric handled longarm machine quilting smoothly without any pulling or puckering.
Rebecca Vance
As someone who loves traditional appliqué, working with the Simple Whatnot Quilt Kit was an absolute joy. The pre-curated fabrics matched the pattern instructions exactly, eliminating all the guesswork from selecting blenders and focal prints. The quality of the printed cotton made turned-edge appliqué much easier to manage, and I finished the wall hanging in just one weekend.
