Controlled Improv Quilt Patterns for Color-Curious Quilters
Spellbinding Quilts Start With Confident Color Choices
Pick a Pattern. Pick a Bundle.
Make a bold quilt. Celebrate.
Every Jittery Wings Quilt pattern is a Controlled Improv design so no two quilts come out the same. Every finished quilt teaches you something new about color.
Our bundle system takes the math out of it: pick your quilt size, grab any the curated bundle, and start sewing.
“I finally understand why my colors weren’t working — and how to fix it. Color Flow gave me confidence I didn’t know I was missing.”
The Jittery Wings System
From Fabric to Finished
No yardage math. No complicated cutting charts. Just pick what speaks to you and let the system do the rest.
3 Easy Steps
PICK A PATTERN
All Jittery Wings patterns are Controlled Improv designs — meaning every quilt comes out a little different, a little yours. Pick a size for your pattern.
PICK A BUNDLE
A bundle of 12 fat quarters makes a crib. 24 FQS make a throw. ALL bundles are curated for Color Flow — so your fabrics already work together. No guessing.

Curated for Color Flow
Each Jittery Wings fat quarter bundle is specifically curated by Mitzie for Color Flow — which means the colors are already arranged to move beautifully across your controlled improv quilt.
No second-guessing. No regrets at the cutting table.

About the Patterns
Detailed Instructions
Some folks are readers. So I work to write clear instructions in every pattern. Whether you are a beginner or lifer, the instructions serve as a guide to the finish.
Clear Technical Illustrations
Some folks are skimmers, or let's be real, just look at the pictures. All my patterns include clear technical illustrations to guide you through piecing the quilt so you only need to look at the measurements if that is how you work best.
Professionally Edited
All patterns are reviewed by a trained, professional editor who also happens to be a modern quilter. Bonus!
