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 a variety of 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.
