As we look ahead to 2025, quilting is poised for an exciting year of creativity and evolution. Here are some of the trends we think will shape the quilting world in the coming year:
Rich Neutrals Take Center Stage
Warm, earthy tones are set to dominate, with quilters gravitating towards solids in shades like terracotta, sienna, and taupe. The Pantone Color of the Year, Mocha Mousse, is a perfect example of this trend. Its rich, cozy vibe complements the shift toward grounded, neutral palettes that feel timeless and inviting.
Abstract and Asymmetrical Designs
Say goodbye to strict symmetry! In 2025, expect more patterns that embrace abstract forms and free-flowing designs. Quilters are exploring layouts that feel modern and artistic, breaking traditional rules to create something uniquely their own.
Functionality Over Show
The focus is shifting back to quilts as practical, everyday items. While we’ll always admire quilts displayed as works of art, more and more makers are creating quilts for snuggling, gifting, and regular use. This trend ties beautifully into the rise of cozy, scrappy quilts made from leftover fabric—projects that are both sustainable and sentimental.
Scrappy Quilts Make a Comeback
Speaking of scraps, quilters are increasingly leaning into the charm of scrappy quilts. These eclectic projects celebrate creativity, sustainability, and the stories behind the fabrics. Whether it’s a planned scrappy look or a true mix-and-match adventure, these quilts embody the spirit of making do and making it beautiful.
2025 is shaping up to be a year where quilters embrace creativity, functionality, and rich, cozy aesthetics. Whether you're experimenting with abstract patterns or diving into your stash to create something scrappy, we can't wait to see what you make! What trends are you most excited to try this year?
