Fabric Café, the home of the original 3-yard quilt method, is stepping up the fun with its latest release: Step It Up With 5-Yard Quilts, a new pattern book featuring eight quilt designs created with just five 1-yard cuts of fabric.
This 24-page book invites quilters to “dance” through their next project with patterns inspired by the rhythm and movement of dance. From the graceful flow of Waltz to the energetic beats of Hip Hop and Jitterbug, each quilt design brings its own flair while keeping construction simple and approachable.
Book Highlights:
• Eight quilt patterns inspired by dance: Autumn Ballet, Bolero, Disco, Hip Hop, Jitterbug, Salsa, Tango, and Waltz.
• Simple fabric requirements: each pattern uses just five 1-yard cuts of fabric.
• Directional fabric: six patterns include special notes for working with directional prints.
• Multiple size options: enlargement instructions for queen/king size.
“Quilting has always been about creativity and joy,” said Fran Morgan.” “With Step It Up With 5-Yard Quilts, we wanted to bring that same sense of movement and fun to the sewing room, making it easy for quilters to turn fabric into art that truly dances.”

Customer Reviews
"I ordered some fabric that I couldn't find in my local area and found it in a number of shops where I could get it online. Patched Works had the best combination of fabric + shipping price of the several sites where it was available. Good service, great communication, and the fabric came with a surprise free paper pattern and QR Code to their youtube channel. Very nice! I would definitely choose them again!"
"This store is so great! They have lots of beautiful fabrics in all styles and the staff is so friendly. I first visited in December while in town visiting my mil and it was my first stop on this visit because they’re just so welcoming. They have a decent selection of precuts scattered throughout the store as well as notions and patterns which are perfect to pick up as souvenirs each visit. As a younger quilter I am sometimes talked down to when I visit a quilt shop but the employees here are always so friendly and encouraging. They have a good parking lot and are easy to find even for an out of towner like myself. I can’t wait to come back the next time I’m in the area to pick up more fabric for the stash!"
"This is a fantastic quilt shop with every imaginable fabric you can think of. The owner and employees are friendly, knowledgeable, professional and very helpful. They have a huge inventory of high quality quilting fabrics, kits and everything you need to make your project a success. Plenty of parking, easy to access, well lit, great displays for inspiration. Highly recommended, well worth the trip."
