Hi there! I'm Jenn, Quilt Designer with a Playful Bias
… and the owner and designer behind Slightly Biased Quilts. With a lifelong love of bright colors and a PhD in Computational Science, Engineering, and Mathematics, I bring a unique blend of creativity and precision to my quilt designs.
Slightly Biased Quilts started as a bias tape Etsy shop, but my passion for quilting soon took center stage. I’ve been quilting since 2009, and I find immense joy in transforming beautiful fabrics into stunning quilts, even with simple patterns. My focus is on creating beginner-friendly, scrap-busting quilt patterns that are quick and easy to assemble. I love helping new quilters experience the satisfaction of completing a beautiful project.
While I appreciate classic quilt blocks, I enjoy putting a modern spin on them with my fabric choices and color palettes. This playful approach lets you create quilts that feel fresh and unique. In addition to designing downloadable PDF patterns, I’m also a published quilt designer, a quilt instructor, and a lecturer. I’m a member of the DC Modern Quilt Guild and absolutely love connecting with fellow quilters at shows and events.
I’d love for you to join me on my quilting journey! Sign up for my newsletter, follow me on social media, or check out my blog for shop updates, beginner-friendly tips, and a peek into my creative process.
Let’s quilt something amazing together!

January Bundle of the Month
January Bundle of the Month This month’s Bundle of the Month is all about seaside serenity with the Seaglass Shoreline Bundle of 8 Fat Quarters! 🌊✨ Curated by us here at Slightly Biased Quilts, this dreamy set of eight coordinating designer-quality quilting cotton fat quarters brings together a soothing coastal color story of aquas, teals, and seafoam — perfect for projects inspired by sunny shores and gentle ocean breezes.
Each fat quarter (about 18″ × 21″) has been hand-picked so your bundle feels cohesive and full of creative possibility, whether you’re planning a quilt, tote bag, or simple seasonal accents. Because each bundle is uniquely curated, no two are exactly the same — but all capture that timeless coast-inspired palette you’ll love stitching with.
It’s a perfect pick for refreshing your stash and whipping up projects that carry a bit of beachy bliss wherever they go. 🌴💙
