Sweet On You Mystery Quilt Along

If you follow me on Instagram you may have noticed that my deep dive into the world of scraps has taken me to some very colorful places these days and with spring just around the corner, I thought it would be time to start something new. So, I’ve partnered with the folks at Shannon Fabrics to celebrate National Quilting Month with a mystery quilt along.  Each week, I’ll be sharing a new block in my Sweet On You quilt pattern.

Sweet On You Details:

• The Schedule: 
  • One block image, supply list and cutting instructions will released each Monday in tonal shades so that you can select from your fabric stash.
  • I will publish sewing instructions and additional tips on Wednesday.
  • Friday is for fun! Each week, I’ll be hosting a Giveaway! Prizes include soft bundles of Cuddle™ fabric from Shannon Fabrics for you to layer into your quilt.
• Finished Quilt Size: 68″ x 85″
• Layout: Horizontal Strip
• Number of Blocks: 6 blocks total including the center unit of Pineapple Smoothie
• Background Fabric: Requires 4 1/2 yards of total background fabric
• ENTER YOUR EMAIL to receive emails of blocks, including the Pineapple Smoothie block
• HASHTAG: #SweetOnYouQAL

I suggest you get started on the right foot by sorted out tidying up your stash. Consider sorting fabrics by color order and prints by size, here is a great article to help get you started.

Now, as the Sweet On You mystery unfolds, you will see the quilt design come to life and the layout take shape.  With each step, I will be layering in texture with Cuddle™ from Shannon Fabrics and as a result, you will see the light bounce around on the fabric. This soft fabric is so luxurious and comes in a variety of colors, prints and designs.  Throughout the years I have used it on many projects and just love the way it holds up wash after wash. It can be purchased here on line or at your local quilt shop.

For anyone not familiar with Cuddle™ or worried about sewing with a non-woven fabric, I suggest starting with these tips to ensure success at the sewing machine.

I’m going to say upfront that my quilt is very colorful with a complete mashup of scraps from my stash and I just love the way it turned out. The cheery and bright bursts of color mixed with the soft texture of Cuddle™ makes my heart melt.
