WHAT IS MIX AND 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.
