WHAT IS MIX & MATCH QUILTING?
If you are new to embroidery, or have never created a quilt, then the quilts in the Mix & Match collections are
for you! We removed all of the difficulty of traditional quilting by creating these quilts in the hoop. If you are a
traditional quilter, you will be able to create a quilt twice as fast! There are three things that make these quilts
unique: you will save fabric, you won’t need to measure, and you no longer have to center your embroidery
designs on your quilt block.
There are well over 50 different Mix & Match quilting collections in the Anita Goodesign library, and the best part
about them is that they all go together! The blocks, borders, and sashing pieces all follow the same size guidelines
so that you can mix blocks from different collections and combine them into one project. Each of the collections
are offered in different sizes so that even if you only have a 5” x 7” hoop, you can still stitch all of the designs in
the collections. Below we list some of the reasons why Mix & Match quilting will become your new favorite quilting
style.

Traditional embroidered
quilts required you to hoop
