Playful Precut Quilts: 15 Projects with Blocks to Mix & Match

Follow authors to get new release updates, plus improved recommendations. Amanda Niederhauser grew up at the side of her mother’s sewing machine, playing with buttons, spools, and zippers. As a child and teenager she would sew pillows, shorts, scrunchies, and stuffed cats. It wasn’t until she graduated college and moved to Virginia that quilting became her first love. It was through trial and error that she taught herself to quilt, relying on books for information. She would often see a quilt and recreate it as there was no Etsy, Instagram, or Internet to purchase quilt patterns. This early training of making up quilt patterns on her own helped her develop a love for quilt design and pattern making. Always inspired by fabric, she designs quilts for her blog, magazines, and her Etsy shop. Amanda also designs fabric for Riley Blake Designs. Her first fabric line, Scaredy Cat, is currently available in quilt shops and online shops. Her second fabric line, Mod Meow, will be released in January 2021. Most days Amanda can be found at her Southern California home in her sewing studio with her cat, Mufasa. Amanda has an extremely patient husband, David, and three adorable children, Ella, Ryan, and Sally.
