How to Quilt a Sun Explosion Block
This week I finished up my Sunshine Surprise quilt and I absolutely love it! This bright, cheerful quilt is filled with so many beautiful designs and textures. My favorite part are the sun motifs quilted into the center of each corner block.

With Sunshine Surprise now complete, I’m sure you’re wondering about next year. This block party is too fun to stop now so we’re starting over from the beginning on January 1st with a new mystery quilt called Flower Festival.
Would you like to get the first block of this new year for free? If you finish your Sunshine Surprise quilt and post a picture to the Block Party Facebook Group we will send you the pattern for Block 1 for free!
The deadline for entry is December 31st, so make sure to get your blocks quilted and bound together in time. To enter, make sure to post your photo in the pinned post at the top of the group so it’s easy to find. Everyone that shares a finished quilt picture will win a free pattern and we’ll email you with the download link on January 1st.
Let’s go quilt,
