Step it Up with 5-Yard Quilts

Step It Up With 5-Yard Quilts – Fabric Café, the home of the original 3-yard quilt method, is stepping up the fun with its latest release!

This exciting 24-page softcover book features eight vibrant new quilt designs inspired by the rhythm and movement of dance. From the graceful flow of Waltz to the energetic beats of Hip Hop and Jitterbug, each pattern brings its own flair while keeping construction simple, approachable, and wonderfully beginner-friendly.

Book Highlights:

• Eight dance-inspired quilt patterns: Autumn Ballet, Bolero, Disco, Hip Hop, Jitterbug, Salsa, Tango, and Waltz.
• Simple fabric requirements: Each quilt uses just five 1-yard cuts of fabric for the top, borders, and binding.
• Directional fabric friendly: Six patterns include special notes for perfectly positioning directional prints.
• Multiple size options: Easy enlargement instructions for Queen/King size included.

“Quilting has always been about creativity and joy,” says Fran Morgan. “With Step It Up With 5-Yard Quilts, we wanted to bring that same sense of movement and fun into the sewing room — making it easy for quilters to turn fabric into art that truly dances.”

Whether you’re looking for a fast, impressive throw or a larger statement quilt, these 5-yard designs deliver maximum impact with minimum fuss. Perfect for confident beginners and seasoned quilters alike who want beautiful results without complicated math or endless shopping.

Pre-orders open September 22, 2025, with shipping scheduled for late September. For more information, contact Donna Holmes at dholmes@fabriccafe.com.
