Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing a roundup of Free Small Quilt Projects that I make again and again. I’ve been trying to make all of the free content here on the blog easier to navigate for my readers, and so this post is part of an ongoing series of roundups with lots of fun (and free) ideas for your sewing and quilting.

Simple Pincushion
I do love pincushions, and having a go-to simple pattern is helpful when making gifts for friends or when refreshing your sewing room and travel accessories. Find all of the details including a video tutorial for a simple scrappy pincushion below.
Patchwork Key Fob
Patchwork key fobs are another fast and fun project I like to make (in fact, it’s time for me to make a new one soon). Find the details and the video tutorial for this free project below.
Framed Fabric Hexagons
One of my favorite quilt market projects was this little group of English paper-pieced hexagons I framed for our booth. This project makes a great decor piece or gift and is easily customizable to the size frame you want to use. I also plan to make one of these with an upcoming fabric collection soon!
Free Potholder Tutorials
Below you’ll find some free potholder tutorials I’ve shared here on the blog:
- Easy Log Cabin Potholder Tutorial
- How to Make a Quilted Potholder (not a free pattern, but lots of tips)
- String Block Potholder Tutorial
- Easy Placemat Patterns (some are free here, too)
Free Scrappy 9-Patch Quilt Tutorial
Recently I shared several scrap quilt projects (most of them with free pattern options). I realized I neglected to include a Free Scrappy 9-Patch Quilt Tutorial I have here on the blog (there is a PDF for purchase available for this too, but you can make it solely from the tutorial). I’m thinking I need to make a new one of these fun quilts, too!
