Collection: Patchwork quilt kits - blankets, throws and bedspreads

All our kits contain the necessary fabrics to make the top of the quilt and the binding (if it is visible on the front of the pattern) and a tutorial to guide you.

The fabric for the back of the quilt:

• is generally included for small quilts
• for children's blankets, it is generally included in the kit and customizable with the child's name.
• for large throws, bedspreads, and wall art quilts, the backing fabric is offered as an option.

Batting or wadding is generally not included, except for some small complete kits and children's patchwork kits.

Sewing threads and quilting threads are normally not included. If the pattern includes small accessories like a zipper or button, most often it will be included in the kit.

On the product sheet of each pattern, you will find a detailed list of what this specific kit contains.

Our kits are designed to make your life easier, and can be made with a minimum of equipment.

Of course, you will need the basic sewing equipment:

• Needles and pins
• A good pair of scissors (preferably reserved for cutting fabric)
• Sewing machine unless you choose a small model or have time to sew a large quilt by hand
• A cutter, ruler, and cutting mat are very useful in my opinion, but not essential for our beginner kits.

In general, you don't need special rules or templates, even for appliqués, which are ready to cut.

Absolutely! Since my love at first sight nearly 20 years ago with a superb contemporary quilt, it has been my favorite patchwork style.

The Fibra Creativa range therefore includes several models (and many more to come). kits of contemporary patchwork, with colorful prints, artworks, elaborate or creative shapes, often asymmetrical.

Absolutely! Fibra Creativa really likes modern patchwork, which differs from contemporary patchwork (while being rather recent).

In short, modern patchwork or modern patchwork, is characterized by minimalist prints, simple geometric shapes, often a solid background but not always white - the famous negative space - and often an asymmetrical composition.

In the Fibra Creativa range, you will find many models of modern patchwork kits, for a variety of uses and for all levels, both beginners and experienced quilters:

• patchwork blankets for children like the Céleste model or the Stella rainbow pattern.
• Modern patchwork blankets for decoration
• Customizable photo wall quilts like the Drac model.

After making 2 traditional log cabin quilts at the beginning, I took a contemporary turn, which does not prevent me from admiring the magnificent traditional patchwork like the legendary quilts.

Quilters who love the traditional style will find in the Fibra Creativa range models inspired by traditional quilts, reinterpreted and modernized:

• patchwork kits to make from iconic works of art, like the Monet quilt decorated with water lilies and agapanthus.
• Models based on fabric with traditional patterns, like the quilt with birds, flowers, ...
• Models based on traditional patchwork blocks, made with our original prints.

Yes, quilts are not necessarily more difficult to make than a small patchwork project, being flat and without closures.

Their difficulty lies in the size: large quilts take a long time to make, you risk getting bored, and they are difficult to quilt by machine.

Fran's advice: start with a small model, like a baby quilt or a sofa throw, rather than a large bedspread.

Most patterns are pieced, but there are also patterns for appliquéd quilts or with appliqué effect, and patterns that combine both:

• Kits for those who like the appliqué technique. To simplify the task, the pieces to cut and apply are printed on the fabric, no need for templates. The Autumn Leaves Table Runner is one of these.
• "Faux appliqué" pieced patterns, which produce the visual effect of traditionally appliquéd patterns (circles, for example), but actually only require pieced assembly. Convenient for beginners and those who are a bit intimidated by the appliqué technique or are in a hurry.
• "Whole cloth" printed patterns to quilt. These are fabric panels printed with appliqué designs, ready to be quilted. A beautiful appliqué effect highlighted by quilting, like the Blue Christmas Tree Table Runner.
• Patterns that combine piecing and appliqué, generally of intermediate or advanced level.

For the moment, nowhere. FIbra Creativa is a textile creation studio, located in Catalonia, without an attached patchwork store.

Because most of our kits and fabrics are customizable, we mainly manufacture on order and sell exclusively through our online store.

We sometimes participate in trade shows and fairs, where we will be happy to meet you on occasion.

Of course! I love creating modern and cheerful kits for babies and children, with colorful and cheerful patterns, stylized animals, personalized names, and more.

These are most often perfect models for beginners. And what better birth gift than a handmade personalized baby quilt?

Absolutely! Masculine-style quilts are the great forgotten in patchwork. It is undoubtedly partly the fault of men who tend to sulk about this hobby that is so pleasant and creative. Even if they are not very many to handle the needle, we create men's plaid kits, maybe that will encourage some to start? In any case, masculine patchwork plaids make very beautiful DIY gifts for fathers, grandfathers, brothers and anyone else who might be allergic to pink floral patterns!
