Hello, I'm Ash and this is the story of Giant Quilts.
I started Giant Quilts in 2020 as a simple blog to chronicle my experience making my first quilt; sharing tips and tricks I learned along the way. As interest in my quilt grew, I started receiving requests to purchase and inquiries for commissioned quilts.
This pushed Giant Quilts from just a blog into a small business. Focused on function and modern design, Giant Quilts are handcrafted and feature patterns inspired by bold shapes, fashion, and counterculture.
II learned to create quilt patterns to share Giant Quilts designs with quilters around the world and inspire others to make their first quilt. On the blog, I continue to share quilting tips and tricks that I learn during my continual growth and exploration into the niche of modern quilts.
Make it hip but keep it cozy.
I was taught to sew as a child by my Grandma and Mom, mostly sewing and altering clothing. I attended Academy of Art University for fashion merchandising and graduated from University of Houston Downtown with a BBA in Marketing.
My fashion and business backgrounds combined to create Giant Quilts. Out of a new love and appreciation for quilting, it is my goal to bring modern quilts to a new generation and help people see quilts differently.
Currently, I am living in Houston, Texas with my boyfriend Aldo and our two cats – Giant and Bones.
Giant Quilts was named after my cat, Giant, who is the sweetest, warmest, and softest friend I’ve ever had; all the qualities of a good quilt.
