Kathleen’s Story, a stunning quilt kit by Chris Schulte of Green Light Quilts for Marcus fabrics.
We first saw this quilt at Quilt Market in Houston and were instantly captivated. In person, it’s breathtaking! It is soft, detailed, and filled with charm. The thoughtful blend of delicate florals, paisleys, tone-on-tones, and cross-stitch motifs creates a timeless, scrappy appeal that’s pure joy to sew.
The quilt finishes at 68" x 71", combining traditional piecing with Chris’ signature raw-edge applique technique, though you can use traditional applique if you prefer.
The palette (sage, coral, dusty blue, butter, and soft neutrals) feels beautifully balanced, making this a design you’ll treasure all year long.
The mix of delicate florals, paisley, buds and tone-on-tones combine with a cross-stitch panel and eight tonal Strip-It™ variations for endless creative options. Together the 8” wide Strip-Its offer 40 gorgeous prints to easily accommodate the scrappy appeal of Chris’ designs.
Behind the fabric is a touching inspiration. The collection, Kathleen’s Story, was created in memory of Chris’ mother, an avid seamstress and needlework enthusiast who passed away young. Her creative spirit lives on through every detail of this design.
This quilt is more than a project. It’s a story stitched with love, colour, and timeless design.
