💡 Why this kit
Bonnie Twist was designed to be a palette cleanser quilt—the kind of project you reach for when you want to enjoy sewing instead of overthinking it.
The woven textures in Picnic Wovens bring incredible depth and softness to the design, while the Licorice accent fabric adds just enough contrast to make the twist blocks pop. The Veggie stripe binding is the perfect finishing touch, giving the quilt that "well-loved picnic blanket" energy.
The result feels timeless, cozy, and effortlessly collected.
This kit keeps it simple:
- No wondering which plaids and stripes work together
- No agonizing over contrast or hue
- No fabric pull fatigue
Just a beautifully curated picnic-inspired palette ready to sew.
