Classic blocks, reproduction quilts, and stories of hope: we’re elated to share with you Betsy Chutchian’s first solo book with Martingale!
Betsy’s created a wealth of antique-inspired blocks and quilts to lead you on Hope’s Journey. Inside a dozen chapters, she shares timeless block patterns in a variety of sizes, along with a collection of small quilts to sew using reproduction fabrics.
This gorgeously photographed book is packed with projects to keep your journey creative and fun!
• 28 traditional block patterns
• 11 beautiful small quilt patterns
• 4 settings for large sampler-style quilts
The sampler quilts: all we can say is WOWZA! Once your blocks are made, you can mix and match them into one of the four spectacular, puzzle-piece-style sampler quilt layouts that will guide you toward your journey’s end.
See all four sampler quilts in the gallery >>>
Each chapter also includes fascinating facts about the American frontier and the hopeful journeys that pioneers took in search of a better life. Here’s what Betsy says about how the pioneer journey relates to the experience you’ll have with Hope’s Journey.
The blocks and projects in Hope’s Journey were originally taught as a yearlong mystery class. Much like the pioneers’ journey, my students had no idea where they were going or what the journey would be like. Each month, students received block instructions for a sampler quilt, a pattern for a mini-quilt, and a history lesson pertinent to a pioneer woman’s story. Students were encouraged to select a wide variety of fabrics in a palette they loved and to keep a notebook of fabric swatches, notes, quotes, and anything else that might make their journey interesting.
Prairie Fowl
Having this book in front of you eliminates the unknown, revealing all the patterns from the mystery classes in a format that lets you look ahead. You’ll also find history tidbits and my words of encouragement.
Captivity and Flight
Pack your baskets for the journey with a wide variety of prints in a palette you love, in quantities including fat quarters, fat eighths, or yardage and small pieces. I used my own fabric lines and other reproduction fabrics to make the blocks and quilts, but Hope’s Journey will look great in any fabric style. The fabrics listed with each block and small quilt are generous so that you can repeat fabrics along the way.
Provisions for the Crossing
I sincerely hope that you join me on this journey and enjoy it every step of the way.

I’ve always loved samplers and have often thought about making another for our bed. These two were both set in a very traditional setting of every block the same size and placed in straights rows with sashing and corner stones. I just love Betsy’s quilts with their mix of blocks of different sizes and random settings – so modern yet such traditional blocks with repro fabrics! Fabulous! Very Inspiring!
