I Finally Started the Home Town Quilt (And Here’s What Happened)

There’s a quilt kit that has been sitting on my shelf since 2024. Every time I walked past it, I’d give it a little smile — a quiet, slightly guilty smile — and keep walking. You know exactly what I mean, don’t you? 😛

Well, friends. It has finally happened. I have officially started Lori Holt’s Home Town Quilt, and I have so much to share with you.

The Kit That Started It All

I first fell in love with Lori Holt’s whimsical, story-filled quilts the way most of us do — one Instagram scroll at a time. The houses, the gardens, the tiny little details in every block. I was completely mesmerized, and in 2024 I finally took the plunge and purchased the Home Town Quilt Kit from Fat Quarter Shop. The kit is no longer available, but FQS carries lots of fun quilt kit which you can check out HERE>

The kit comes with the gorgeous bundle of Riley Blake fabrics, called Hometown designed by Lori Holt. Along with the fabrics, you also get the Home Town Sew Along Guide and the Sew Simple Shapes: Home Town template set— 63 acrylic templates designed specifically for the blocks in this quilt.

And then it sat there. For months.
