Sparkling Sunflowers Mini Quilt

Greetings friends! It is new project tutorial day - time to share my October project created for the Therm O Web blog with you. I always enjoy putting on my Fabric Education Designer hat and creating new projects/tutorials to share with you. For the month of October, the blog is focused on last-minute Halloween projects, holiday gifts, and fall decor. I created a brand new project that was posted yesterday - it is a complete project tutorial for my Sparkling Sunflowers Mini Quilt. My comprehensive tutorial contains a complete supply list, printable pattern with appliqué templates, and step-by-step directions with color photos. 

This autumn decor project (suitable for year-round display) is perfect for using up scraps and good for beginners. What makes it "sparkling?" For this tutorial I used a brand new product - HeatnBond Sparkle Paste by Jennifer Long of Sew a Story. If you are familiar with my projects, then you know that I am not necessarily a "glitter or sparkle" type of girl...but this product has changed my stance! This magical paste can be applied with a paintbrush or a palette knife to add sparkle and shine to ANY fabric or felt…and after curing, it won’t flake off. I now *need* Sparkle Paste in all 14 colors - seriously. It applies so easily and you can control exactly how much glittery shine you want. I applied the Sparkle Paste to the sunflower petals and that added shine is PERFECTION. I hope you will stop by the Therm O Web blog and check out my project and tutorial...

This is an easy, fall project that can definitely be a scrap buster...make it as planned or as scrappy as you like! It combines easy appliqué shapes on a solid background. For this post, I used HeatnBond Sparkle Paste, HeatnBond Pressing Paper, HeatnBond Lite EZ-Print Iron-On Adhesive Sheets, HeatnBond Fusible Fleece and SpraynBond Basting Adhesive Fabric Spray. Visit the tutorial post for a complete and detailed supply list.

To find the exact wrought iron quilt hanger I used, along with other supplies listed, visit my Sparkling Sunflowers Mini Quilt Supply List on Amazon (full disclosure: as an Amazon Influencer, I earn from qualifying purchases - I only share products I actually use - and I truly appreciate you shopping from my links, thank you!). 

If you have questions on any Therm O Web or HeatnBond/SpraynBond products or would like to see a specific type of product in one of my projects, drop me a comment or email.

You will have to visit the ThermOWeb blog for my complete tutorial and pattern, but I am posting a few photos here...
