by

There’s just something so satisfying about quilt blocks, isn’t there? All those geometric shapes, satisfying symmetry, and endless layout options – it’s no wonder so many of us fall in love with quilting for life. But what if I told you that you don’t even need a needle and thread to enjoy the beauty of quilting today?

I’ve created a free set of printable quilt coloring pages that bring the joy of quilting to your colored pencils and markers. These quilter-themed coloring sheets are perfect for winding down with a cuppa, dreaming up your next fabric palette, or simply indulging your creative side without hauling out the sewing machine.

Whether you’re coloring in for relaxation or testing out color theory for your next bed-sized masterpiece, these free printable quilt coloring designs are just what your creative heart needs.

Why Quilters Love Coloring

Coloring is more than a childhood pastime—it’s a proven way to reduce stress, spark creativity, and help with visual planning. And for quilters? It’s a low-mess way to play with quilt color layouts before ever cutting into your stash. Think of it as a digital-free design wall you can take anywhere (yes, even the doctor’s waiting room or that long car ride to visit the in-laws).

Easy Lacing Cards to Make for Kids

Lacing is a great fine motor activity, and most kids go through a phase where they enjoy working with lacing cards. It helps promote focus and is a great quiet activity for kids to do in the car or to fill time in the classroom. And of course knowing how to lace is the beginning of knowing how to sew, which is great for all kids to learn (more on teaching kids to sew here). 

There are lots of ways to make your own lacing cards. This one is just a pin but it’s easy to make lacing cards with any shape a child is into using cardboard and a nail to poke the holes. This could be fun for letter and number recognition or spelling the child’s name.  Or try this version from Hey Azka, which uses a hole punch to make bigger holes so you can lace with shoe laces. 

You can also just do lacing cards with paper, but it’s a great idea to print them on card stock and/or laminate them to make them sturdier for little hands. Homeschool Share has a set of alphabet lacing cards, which are free with email signup. Deceptively Educational has a set of number lacing cards with numbers 0 to 10. 

Picklebums has some basic shape lacing cards, too.

Living Life and Learning has a bunch of cute printable lacing cards, including back to school designs, shoes kids can lace and learn to tie and ocean themed lacing cards. She also has tips for making your own lacing cards.

A Rose Tinted World made their lacing cards with craft foam, which makes them a little more durable than paper and you can cut it more easily than cardboard. They used a die cutting machine but you can also cut shapes by hand. 

I also love the cat and mouse cards from Seam Whisperer. They also have some spring themed designs. So cute!

If you want to make lacing cards that are more open ended, check out this tutorial form Pretty Life Girls to make lacing cards that are more like geo boards. Theirs are made with wood but you can also do this with cardboard, craft foam or card stock.
