Three Ways to Enjoy the Celestial Twilight Summer Block Party

One of the things we love most about quilting is that there is rarely just one right way to do something.
We designed the Celestial Twilight Summer Block Party to be a fun, low-pressure event that encourages creativity. Our goal is to help you sew the summer away while making something uniquely yours.
While we'll be sharing layouts and ideas along the way, we want to give you permission to experiment! Mix block sizes, change fabric placements, add borders, or create an entirely different arrangement. This quilt is your creative playground.

If you don't work like that and need an idea on how many blocks to make, here are three suggested quilt layouts to get you started.

Finished Size:
All the following layouts become a 48" square. If you want to make it larger, borders and sashing are the perfect way. Add 1 ⅓ yards for Midnight (background) fabric for that. We will go into more details on this in week 5. 
​

The best part of a block party is seeing how differently everyone interprets the same patterns!
We hope you'll have an amazing time quilting with us this summer. Be sure to share your progress, cheer on your fellow quilters, and enjoy the creative journey.
