Several months ago I won a fun giveaway from Margot of The Pattern Basket. Not only did I receive the most wonderful Moda ribbon heart handmade by her, but I also received several of her patterns. One in particular I’ve been saving to use with Bliss, and even though cutting out a few projects was the only thing I was supposed to be doing Saturday…I managed to stitch up a few blocks!
The pattern is “Sugar Twist,” and it’s fun and easy to sew! The pattern calls for a Layer Cake; however, it can easily be made with Jelly Roll strips or from part of a fat eighth or fat quarter bundle.
I have the rest of the blocks cut, coordinated, and ready to sew…safely stored in a Costco strawberry container (thanks again for the idea Rae Ann)! Oh…and I can’t wait…I just got an e-mail that this book (Simplify with Camille Roskelley: Quilts for the Modern Home (Stash Books)) will be shipping to me this week….I’m soo looking forward to reading it!
Carol says
OMG mine is all gone…I think I better go order just one more layer cake…gosh I LOVE it! Adding it to my list!

I cut into my Bliss for the first time today. Love this line! And didn't Rae Ann's post cause a stir? I love her idea and have begun to collect plastic boxes now myself.

I just ordered Bliss and am anxiously awaiting it's arrival this week. I'm not supposed to buying new fabric but I couldn't resist (again). Now that I see yours, I'm glad I did. Can't wait to see it all come together. Patty@sewingseedscraftylife
julia says
Yummy!!! Love that pattern, actually I love it that much that I already have it…:)
Together with bliss it's a perfect combination! I have to hurry to order some yardage before it's all gone 😉
Have you decided on the border fabrics yet? I bet one of the blue prints for the main border together with a red piping would be gorgeous – can't wait to see your take on it.
Hugs, Julia
Deb says
Purchased my Bliss fabric last week, now just need to decide what I want to do with it. It's a beautiful line – love it! Yours is beautiful!
Madame Samm says
HI Sherri, great beginning…I made a duvet cover for a sofa duvet with this pattern…it is a wonderful one isn't it? Bliss makes it picture perfect. Now I am off to make some pillow cases for a retreat this weekend..blessings msamm
The Tile Lady says
I saw something similar to this done as a border for a quilt, but in looking at the pattern here I see you would have to essentially place these on point along the strip to make it work. Or am I not visualizing this correctly?
Terriaw says
Beautiful blocks! I really love those Bliss fabrics, and this is a great way to show them off. I love getting a bunch of projects cut out like that. Then you can sit down and piece the afternoon away! Looks like you were quite productive!
Thimbleanna says
Ha! Can't get enough of that Bliss — it looks great in this pattern too!
Karin says
Isn't that a great pattern?! I just finished piecing it using the 'Blush' line. I love how it looks in the "Bliss" too. Can't wait to see yours all finished. I'm planning another with 30's fabrics. Love that Sugar Twist!
Shannon says
How beautiful. I love bliss. I also love the Costco container idea. The pattern looks like a lot of fun to make.
passingdowncrazy says
I haven't even cracked open my fat quarter bundle of Bliss yet. Maybe it's time!
Mama Pea says
I have been loving Bliss fabrics for a while, but I really like this pattern…especially made with these fabrics. I may have to go order me that pattern! 🙂
Karen says
I am still trying to find my first piece of Bliss – haven't ever seen it. But it looks gorgeous and this quilt is adorable.
Stray Stitches says
Great pattern. What a wonderful way to use Bliss!
jahogan says
Love the pattern and love the Bliss. The more I see it, the more I want some. Not available at my local quilt shop so will have to order online. And the pattern as well.
Susan says
I love that Sugar Twist pattern and the fabrics that you used look great!
Stitched With Prayer says
Sherri, I adore "Bliss", I think I would love it in anything, but this pattern is absolutely wonderful. I have never seen it and it really 'speaks to me'! Gonna have to go hunting now, LOL. Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to see the finished quilt.
Mama Pea says
Hi, me again. I loved the Sugar Twist pattern you are working up, I just went and bought it. The way you are doing it with that Bliss fabric really works for me. I have come back to visit your blog a few different times today. I'm composing "reblog" post of your post to show everyone how great your Sugar Twists look and how it inspired me to order the pattern. Okay if I do that and show your first photo on my blog? Thanks so much!
Joanne says
Oh Sherri, How very pretty! Never heard of The Pattern Basket, so I hopped over there and ended up buying a couple of patterns. Love it! My Bliss is still uncut …. um…
Jantine says
This is a lovely patterns indeed! Love what you have been doing!
Abby says
What a great pattern with a great line. This is one line I've been wanting to splurge on. I've got to figure out what I'm going to do in it. Maybe this pattern is it!
Busy As Can Be says
I love the Bliss line and what a great choice for this quilt!
Jan Marie says
Sherri, Please forgive me, I published the post with the picture from you blog I asked about. I ment to leave it as a draft until I got your permission. Can I just delete the whole post? I am so sorry.
