Perfect Fit Quilt-A-Long

Jan 6

Perfect Fit is a celebration of pattern and optical illusion. This pattern is easily adaptable to team or nursery colors and keeps its visual interest as long as the fabrics sufficiently contrast. The pieces are precut friendly, and the blocks disappear as the quilt comes together. Plus, the top is perfectly suited both to modern straight line quilting or to more elaborate free motion quilting practice. Whether you’re celebrating an upcoming Sports Ball event, making a quilt for an upcoming graduate, or creating your own optical illusion quilt, this is a fun quilt for kicking off the new year!

Perfect Fit is just the right quilt for that hard-to-quilt-for guy in your life or anyone who loves a bold graphic look. Customize this quilt to match a room, show off team spirit, or feature favorite colors.

Supplies & Kits

During the quilt-a-long, I shared tips and tricks for choosing colors and fabrics for Perfect Fit. But I know that some of our shop samples are Rockstar faves, so we also put together kits! 🎉

Each kit will make the Throw Sized top and includes 2 yards each of three fabrics (6 yards total). The pattern, backing, and binding are sold separately.
