How it works

From fabric pull to finished quilt.

  1. Rosewater Check's actual fabric previews: ivory, dark teal and pink Roman Glass print

    Pick your fabrics

    Try a new print or raid your stash. Watch the whole quilt change before you cut a thing.

    Every bolt named, ready to buy

  2. Rosewater Check's block preview: two pink print squares and two teal-and-ivory four-patches

    Sew one block

    One clear step at a time, with a drawing for each. Listen along while you sew.

    Block 1, ¼″ seams, press toward the dark

  3. Rosewater Check: a generated room preview of the pink, teal and ivory patchwork throw, with every edge visible

    Finish the quilt

    Every block has its place, and your spot is saved for next time.

    Every piece counted

Beside you as you sew

Read aloud. Ask about your block.

Keep both hands on the fabric while your companion reads the next step. Stuck on a seam? Snap a photo of your block and ask. It knows what the block should measure, because it built the plan.

Fabric, made simple

One lineup, one quilt shop.

See the fabrics on your quilt before you buy. When the whole lineup is at one shop, we send you there with every bolt named, so you can order it all in one go.

Good questions

Before you thread the needle.

The things quilters ask us most.

What does it cost?

Making a quilt is free while we're getting started. No payment is needed today. Until then, every quilt-along is yours to sew from the first block.

Do I need an account?

Not to look around. Browse the shelf, watch the films and try the quilts that come in fabric sets. When you want to keep one, swap in fabrics of your own or start sewing, sign in with your email so your quilt and your place are saved.

I’m a beginner. Can I do this?

Yes, and you’ll have company. Start with a quilt marked Beginner. You sew one block at a time, with a drawing for every step, read out loud if you like. Nobody’s timing you.

Can I use my own fabrics?

Of course. Every quilter has a stash. Add photos of your own fabric or try prints from the shop, and watch the whole quilt change before you cut a thing.

Where do I buy the fabric?

Each lineup comes from one quilt shop, with every bolt named, so you can order it all in one go. No hopping from shop to shop.

What if a plan is wrong?

Tell us and we’ll fix the plan itself, not just say sorry. The terms say what that covers.
