Autumn! The leaves are beginning to turn, and the crisp, cool air is settling in. There is just something about fall that always calls us back to our quilting spaces. Maybe it’s to create something warm and comforting for family and friends or the coziness of wrapping up in a handmade quilt as the days grow shorter. Whatever the reason, fall has always been a season where quilting thrives. For Quiltmaker’s Fall 2024 issue, we gathered creative designs that breathe new life into old favorites—think bold color palettes, unexpected layouts, and innovative techniques for taking familiar blocks in a new direction. Our designers aren’t afraid to break the rules—and we’re excited to share their incredible ideas!

As the air turns crisp and the leaves begin their graceful descent, we find ourselves drawn to the comforting warmth of our quilting spaces. The rich hues of gold, rust, and amber practically beg to be stitched into something cozy and beautiful. In the Fall 2024 issue of Fons & Porter’s Quick + Easy Quilts, we also celebrate this season with a nod to a favorite quilt unit—Flying Geese. Besides being versatile, timeless, and adding just the right touch of movement to any quilt design, Flying Geese can be assembled in various ways—from quick piecing multiple units, stitch-and-flipping corners, or even paper foundation piecing them. So, in addition to projects that capture the autumnal spirit, we’ve included a flock of projects featuring these beloved units. You will also find lessons, tips, and advice quilters of all skill levels will find helpful. Each Quick + Easy Quilts issue includes a Quilt of Valor®, baby quilts, and quilt patterns you can stitch up in a weekend!
