Nancy‘s Original Column Quilt
This easy-to-piece design can be made into a double- or full-size bed quilt. The gradation of colors provides great visual impact! Nancy found inspiration for this quilt design from a beach towel that was left behind at her home – by a friend of the family.
Quilt To Give
Nancy modified the original column quilt (above) and created this super-quick quilt design — to make and donate to individuals and families in need. The quilt is easily made from a fabric stash, with perhaps few purchased fabric additions. The center of each column features scrappy patchwork. You can easily create a Quilt to Give by yourself, or invite friends to sew with you—like we do each September at The Great Wisconsin Quilt Show in Madison, Wis.
Heartbeat Column Quilt
No matter the size—lap to king—you can sew this quilt in a heartbeat! Colorful accent strips in a variety of widths make up Nancy’s heartbeat quilt pattern, while the subdued one-color strips add a perfect background for the design.
Interrupted Columns Quilt
Nancy’s Interrupted Columns quilt is a speedy-to-make queen-size quilt designed with a very easy lesson in color coordination. Simply find a print you love for the sashing, and choose five colors from the print to use for the column solid color fabrics. The interruptions—horizontal strips—stop the lengthwise movement while creating a more artistic appeal.
Carefree Column Quilt
Fat quarters, those convenient fabric cuts approximately 18″ x 21″, are ideal for this carefree column quilt. Made with six fat quarter cuts and one background fabric, this lap quilt is ideal for bright fabric choices or large-scale prints.
Wind Chime Column Quilt
The wind chimes hanging from the deck at Nancy’s home served as the inspiration for this Wind Chime Column Quilt. Just like real wind chimes, the angled accent pieces, seem to move as if gently nudged by the wind.
Folded Flying Geese Wall Hanging
No half-square triangles are needed to make the artistic “flying geese” in Nancy’s Folded Flying Geese wall hanging. Start with simple fabric squares, fold three times, and presto – the folded triangles create 3-dimensional Flying Geese. Plus, the background columns are not cut, but rather one piece of fabric. Hmm, it’s kinda interesting!
Folded Scrappy Column Quilt
Are you looking for a stash buster or a scrap quilt project? Nancy’s Folded Scrappy Column Quilt is the answer! The steps are simple: fold, then quilt. There are no pieced triangles and zero bias cut edges. This three-dimensional project has guidelines, rather than an exact pattern, so it is perfect for every size fabric scrap in your stash. Talk about easy!
Dotted Columns Wall Hanging
Switch it up and making an abstract wall hanging with Nancy’s column-quilting techniques, and a few fun fabrics. This artistic silk dupioni wall hanging includes “dotted columns” or circles appliquéd over the easy-to-create columns.
Happy-Go-Lucky Chevron Column Quilt
Use novel piecing techniques in Nancy’s Happy-Go-Lucky Chevron Column Quilt. Mix and match the wide and narrow strips of fabric to create care-free chevron columns. No matching necessary—use only straight stitching.
Hit-and-Miss Table Runner
At first glance, our Hit-and-Miss Table Runner looks like it is pieced with traditional hexagons. Not so with Nancy’s speedy column quilt design. The hexagon shapes are created with two halves, eliminating the intersection of three seams, otherwise known as Y-seams. With this technique, faux-hexagon halves are stitched in columns with relative speed and ease. Plus, the results are dramatic!
Tumbling Tumblers Column Quilt
Take a recognizable tumbler quilt design and turn it on its side. Nancy combines several sizes of tumbler shapes to create this modern quilt design – that breaks most sewing rules. And, the piecing is super-simple!
Floating Squares Column Quilt
This Floating Squares Column double-sized quilt looks difficult to make, but not so! The darker squares “float” on the light background of the quilt top, made with some creative cutting and sewing of crosswise strips. Not to worry, you’ll not be required to cut squares, Nancy opted for a quick-to-make column quilt technique!
All 13 quilt patterns are detailed in the Quick Column Quilts by Nancy Zieman.

Lorna DeSantis
I plan on making the dotted columns.

A folded scrappy column quilt would be my choice…the random patterns and bright fabrics look so cheery!

Linda S Smith
I would love to make the wind chime quilt ! It brings a little of spring indoors !!
Marge
The Windchime Column Quilt strikes my fancy.
Nancy Lewis
Picking just one was a hard decision. However, I would love to try Wind Chime Column Quilt. The fabric that was used really sets it off.
Donna Peet-Laurenti
I’m new to quilting, so starting with the Hit-and-Miss Table Runner seems like the way to go for me. It’s smaller and just what our dining room table needs!
Diane C
Carefree Column Quilt and Interrupted Columns Quilt are two of the quilts I would like to make!
Carolyn T
The Floating Squares Column quilt is the quilt I’d like to make. The floating squares appear as if they are dancing up and down the fabric!
Joan Figlar
I’ve always loved Column Quilts ever since i watched Nancy stitch one up on her sorely missed Saturday morning show.
Bonnie Thiem
I would love to make the Hit and Miss Tablerunner. It looks so interesting.

Well, it’s hard to pick but Dotted Columns jumped out at me
Dorothy Borders
My favorite quilt is the original quilt to give.
Miriam
There are so many great ones to choose from but I guess if I have to pick one then I would like to make the Happy-Go-Lucky Chevron Column Quilt!
laura mitchell
I love them all, but the Carefree quilt is my favorite!
CariAnn Kampen
The folded flying geese is very cute!!
Cindy B
I like the floating squares quilt
kathleen sweet
Each pattern an inspiration and I can sew a straight seam. I think the Wind Chime pattern calls to me. Thank you for this offer.
Charlotte Dunn
I love these quilts and The Floating Squares is the one I would make first. There is no end to all the variations possible with these patterns. Sheer genius is my thought. These are all beautiful from a brilliant mind!!!
Valerie LaFevers
Love the patriotic looking quilt. Would be a perfect gift for my Brother who served our wonderful country for 26 years and still serves his fellow military men and woman in one manner or another.
Clovis
All the quilt looks good. I wouldn’t know which to start with. I would try to make all of them.
Susan Du
Hard to choose as the color combinations in the quilts really make them stand out. Love them all but Tumbling Tumblers, Wind Chimes, and Heartbeat are definite makes! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Sharon
So many ideas. I haven’t picked my favorite yet.
Pat Bloomfield
I love the Happy Go Lucky Chevron quilt. It looks organic-like leaves!
Rosalind Gutierrez
The Carefree Column pattern would be perfect for some novelty FQ’s I have.
CARLA
Wind Chime Column Quilt really stuck out to me and guess what it was the quilt Nancy chose to start the video. I just love all of them and a new quilt book would be great especially one that was created by Nancy…our girl…
Doreen
I would like to make the Folded Flying Geese quilt when I win the book!
Bonnye
They are all lovely but I would make the flying geese wall hanging.
Deborah Whaley
I’m really torn between making the floating squares or the floating flying geese first followed by the Happy Go Lucky Chevron.
Beverly
I truly like all of them, but the dotted columns impressed me as the most whimsical design and I gift quilts to bring smiles so that would be my first choice.
Trish W.
I would love to make all of them! My favorite is the Carefree Column Quilt – I would probably start with that one. Thanks!
Sybil Derderian
I love the Wind Chime Quilt design. The book would inspire me to try new techniques and designs!
Jeanne L
I’m intrigued by the possibilities of the “Hit and Miss Table Runner.”
Samina
I’m torn between the Carefree Columns & Wind Chimes, but I think the Chimes wins out.
Eileen W
I would love to make all 13 designs in this book for charity. 1. Use up some stash, 2. Honor Nancy’s memory, 3. Warm someone in need.
Bev Bolduc Aldridge
Of the patterns pictured I would go for Floating Squares- a great 2 color pattern. It would even be great as a 3 color pattern with each size square a different color. Thankyou for listing prices for your kits and fabric in one place- I hated looking up each individually and starting over to see something else. Now I can really compare projects and prices.
Linda Johnson
I love this quilt. I will be able to use it to teach a special needs girl how to make a quilt. It will not only give her a new skill but it will give her confidence in trying new things. Thanks for this opportunity to share new skills with special needs people. God Bless.
Lynette Wilson
I would love the make the Care Free Column quilt.
Linda
I am fascinated by the Folded Flying Geese Quilt and the Folded Scrappy quilt and would love to make one of these! It’s a new technique to learn.
Pg
I would make the Heartbeat Column Quilt. I think it would be a great opportunity to use many tints and shades of cobalt, and try various quilting designs in the different values of the colors. ( I wish I had the Floating Squares Column one to adorn the wall behind my collection of cobalt colored bottles…
Gloria Fraley
The crisp look of white plus another color really appeals to me, so my first choice would be the Floating Squares quilt. I think the squares made a bit smaller could make a lovely baby quilt.
Pat
The Folded Flying Geese quilt would be my first project from this book. The feeling of motion that flying geese blocks always give is accentuated by the column nature of this quilt.
Wanda
I love all the quilts, but I think the Carefree Column Quilt is my favorite.
Carol Tyrka
I would make the heartbeat quilt. Being a nurse, it caught my eye right away.
Karen A
I like the Floating Squares design. I am intrigued by how it was pieced.
Jenny Rojas
Folded scrappy column quilt looks like tons of fun to try. But the flying geese is a quilt I want to tru also.
Gina M
I’d like to try the Heartbeat quilt … with some HOMBRE fabrics! Or the Interrupted Column Quilt … or the Care Free Column Quilt … might also be fun to try with HOMBRE fabric!
Lorene
I really like the Wind Chime Column quilt. It really suggests a nice movement to me.
dac
The Carefree Column quilt is a real eye catcher. Thank you for sharing these.
Sandy
So many of quilts shown would be great choices, but my favorite is the Heartbeat Column Quilt as it reminds me of building reflections on water. I can see how this pattern could be changed in many ways!
Nancy
I like the floating squares quilt. Thanks
Janet
The windchimes quilt looks like summer to me. Lovely.
Karen Poole
It’s hard to pick just one, but I would pick the heart best quilt to start! The great solid colors and dramatic affect are so gorgeous. We have several family members who have had heart issues and this quilt would make a great gift to them!
Sondra L Hill
I am in the process this year of making a quilt for my three Daughters and three Grandchildren. I would like to make the Heartbeat quilt for my daughter who is a nurse. Thank you for the chance.
Sondra
Barb K
I like the blue and white “Floating Squares” quilt–very pretty!
Helen
My favorite to start is the Carefree Column although I see the possibility of using my scraps in some of the other patterns. I sure miss Nancy. She was my “friend” for long years.
Suzanne Roy
This idea for making quilts you can complete yourself is great. Makes the idea of giving away quilts more attractive.
Claudia
I’d like to try the Heartbeat quilt. I just finished my first quilt (rail fence – queen size) and found it to be easy to begin with, but matching the blocks exactly was a bit more difficult. The Heartbeat appears to be a little easier. Here’s hoping. I too miss Nancy. She was indeed an inspiration.
Judy Allen
I would make the Carefree Column quilt.
Helen Bowie
I would love to make the Interrupted Columns quilt.
Constance Linens
I would like to make the wind chime column quilt.
shirley DESPLAINES
I would like to try the heartbeat quilt
Brenda Rithmire
I like the folded scrappy column quilt. All of the quilts are great.
EllenB
I see that quite a few others like my favorite Windchimes quilt. Looks like it might be good for scrappy piecing.
Lynn
They all look interesting. If I owned this book, I would close my eyes and let my index finger choose for me. Then, the process would be repeated from a selections of fabrics that were chosen just for this book from my stash. A new way to make quilting fun and a challenge to myself.
joan weymiller
Windchimes and Chevrons look like so much fun.
Your book is so full of ideas it is going to be hard
to choose
Mary Ann Stauffacher
I would love to do the Happy-go-lucky chevron column quilt. It is very different from most I have seen and could be a great one to clean up some of my stash!
Mary Ann Stauffacher
I would like to piece the Happy-g0-lucky chevron column quilt as it is very different and could use a lot of my stash in it. Always a good thing.
Sydnie McConnell
I really like all of these! I really want to try out that Folded Scrappy Column Quilt though – I’m so curious!
Sue Stein
I would like to make the Happy-Go-Lucky quilt. Love the looks of it – it looks happy to me. This would be my first quilt and looks like it will be enough of a challenge and might give me enough scraps for another quilt (?) Thanks a bunch
Kathy Pollock
I would love to make a couple of the Quilt to Give in the red white and blue.
Virginia Pflum
I would love to try the wind Chime quilt.
Sheila Kester

Ernestine Hicks
love colum quilts, would love to win copy of this book!
Bonnie
What a lovely selection of modern column quilts. I would like to make the Happy-Go-Lucky Chevron Quilt. Thanks for the great giveaway.
Debra Behmlander
I would love to try the folded scrappy column quilt, but also the original and carefree. Too hard to choose just one. The colors and patterns make you want to try them all!!
Christi
I’d make Floating Squares first.
Cindy K
Heartbeat, Tumbling Tumblers and Floating Squares would all be great stash busters for me!
Andrea Ernst
I still love Nancy’s Original Column quilt as it can be designed for anyone at any age. The Wind Chime, Heartbeat and Floating Squares quilts would definitely be on my To Do List!
Lisa C.
Happy go lucky Chevron and floating squares are two quilts I would like to make!!!
Cindy Berry
I really like the carefree column but they all look easy and charming.
Penny Bourne
I’ve been wanting to make the Floating Squares quilt since I saw it at the Sun Prairie show last year. It’s stunning.
Sharon B
The folded scrappy column quilt! It would help me keep my New Year’s resolution of clearing out my scraps in 2020!
joanna
The variety of columns is a plus for different-sized fabric pieces not to mention a variety of choices for the perfect design for a specific purpose/person. I would love to experiment!
Jennifer Martin
My favorite is the Floating Squares Column Quilt. I like the contrast of the navy squares against the light background. I would definitely make this one!
Rochelle Summers
All of the column quilts are lovely but I think the heartbeat quilt is one I’d do for my nephew who is a surgical nurse practioner.
Diane Verma
There are several I’d like to make but especially the Carefree Columns quilt!
Sunnie
Id love to make the folded geese one, but these are all very nice.
Sheila Hansen
There are several I like, but the Carefree Column quilt appeals to me the most
Kat Browning
I love the flying geese pattern, so the thought of making them 3 d sounds awesome
Susan Wiggins
I’ve always wanted to try a Chevron but am intimidated by it. The blog says all you need to do is straight stitching so maybe I will be able to tackle this long loved pattern.
L H
What a hard choice. I really like the Original Column, Interrupted Column, Carefree Column, and the Floating Squares. If I could only pick one I would pick the Interrupted Column. Hard Choices. They are all so beautiful.
Savannagal
I really love the simplicity of all the quilts. I don’t really have a favorite because I have a few favorites. But since I must, I’ll choose the Carefree Column Quilt. I think the colors of the quilts somewhat influence which ones I prefer. They are all beautiful though. Thanks for the book giveaway. It would be perfect for a beginner.
Patricia Smith
I havemade several of the originia Column quilts. I would like to try the wind chime column quilt. The carefree column quilt also speaks to me. I try not to miss the Sewing With Nancy Show on my PBS station. I have taped a lot and watched some on my computer. Baby quilts is what I like to make and give away.
