Sunset Bliss Quilt Pattern
Grab your shades and sunscreen! The Sunset Bliss quilt pattern is now available HERE!
Sunset Bliss is the second pattern of the Wonder Years series, a childhood-inspired collection of four minimalist patterns designed to reflect the simpler times. As with the Golden State pattern series (Balboa Island, Mammoth Lakes, Metropolis, and Eastern Sierra), each pattern focuses on a different piecing technique!

Smaller curves tend to be trickier than its bigger counterparts and the only reason why I bumped the skill level to advanced beginner. BUT if you’re new to curves, this is a great skill-builder!

ABOUT THE PATTERN
Sunset Bliss was inspired by the good ol’ days of playing outside until it got too dark to see the ball flying toward you. It was a brief period in my sheltered upbringing where I got to play outside with the neighbors so it’s one of my fondest childhood memories. My family had only one baseball mitt to share (my brother’s) at that time. As the only leftie in my family, I got pretty good at throwing with my right hand ;)
