Quilts & More Winter 2023 is a seasonal issue with projects ranging from quilts and table accents to a reusable gift bag, pillows, stockings, and sewing-themed small makes. The publisher’s feature page numbers 15 entries, but some are color or project options rather than separate full magazine patterns. Four entries link to free online patterns; the rest are presented as issue features.

What projects are in Quilts & More Winter 2023?

The publisher’s Winter 2023 feature page lists 15 numbered entries. It includes alternate colorways and project options, so that number should not be read as 15 distinct full patterns. Here is what the page describes:

Which projects have free patterns online?

The publisher feature page explicitly links free online patterns for four displayed options:

  • Shining Bright Color Option: “Beautifully Simple Wall Quilt.”
  • Peppermint Party Project Option: a peppermint pillow pattern.
  • A Stitch in Time Project Option: cross-stitch quilting magnet patterns.
  • Cheerful Blend Color Option: a quilt pattern for the seasonless table runner.

These links apply to the named options, not necessarily to the magazine’s other projects or their complete instructions. For the full set of projects described for the issue, consult the magazine itself.
