    Design Inspiration

    The Encore quilt pattern was inspired by the flush of lovely asters that grace yards as summer fades to fall. The asters are like the curtain call before the frost of fall arrives. They are worth the wait... just like an encore.

Hello....

A little about me: Jen. I'm the designer and quilter at Cotton Splendor. I've always loved unique items and have been drawn to patterns and textures my whole life. I remember how special I felt when I received handmade clothes in the mail from my grandmother. My love for fabrics and sweet memories of being so special to have something created for me are alive in my quilting.

When I started quilting I was going through a difficult period of grief. It was truly therapeutic for me to have my hands busy! Now, it's my favorite way to use my creativity to design and make one-of-a-kind splendid gifts, and provide small scale handmade home decor with a passion to help you make your house the loveliest home. 

Who knew that cotton could be so splendid?

Cakewalk Quilt Sampler

Can you believe it? Sampler quilts have been popular since the early 19th century.

Sampler quilts are among my favorite styles! The enduring charm of a sampler quilt provides a canvas that offers quilters a way to showcase a diverse array of quilt blocks and skills in a cohesive style, for a unique captivating quilt.

This quilt, the Cakewalk Quilt Sampler, was finished with simple sashing and cornerstones. Finishing instructions for 3 styles of sampler quilts, including this one, are now available in a new pattern called Triple Play Sampler!
