What if your next quilt could take you on a journey?
Imagine sailing through turquoise waters, stopping at colorful Caribbean destinations, and discovering a brand-new quilt block each month along the way. That’s exactly what Cruising the Caribbean, our newest 13-month Mystery Block of the Month program designed by Gudrun Erla, is all about.
A Quilt Mystery That Unfolds Month by Month
The magic of a mystery quilt is not knowing exactly where the journey will take you.
With Cruising the Caribbean, each month brings a new surprise:
-
A new Caribbean destination
-
A new quilt block design
-
A new color story revealed
Gudrun designed every block to capture the spirit of a different stop along the cruise. As the months unfold, the fabrics and blocks come together to tell the story of the entire journey. By the end, you’ll have created a stunning quilt that reflects the vibrant energy, culture, and beauty of the Caribbean.
A Complete Kit — Everything Included
To make the experience as easy and enjoyable as possible, the Cruising the Caribbean Complete Kit includes everything you need for the full journey.
Inside your kit you’ll find:
