Featured Quilt Designs

Coral Bells (61" x 73") – Designed by Suzanne Unbehaun of Shopgirl Quilts

Coral Bells is a generously sized quilt measuring 61 inches by 73 inches, making it a comfortable lap quilt or throw. This design is notably Fat Quarter (FQ) Friendly, meaning the entire quilt top can be constructed using fat quarters — a beginner-friendly cutting format that makes fabric selection and preparation more manageable, even for intermediate quilters tackling complex layouts.

The pattern calls for one Fat Quarter Bundle of the entire Cora Collection (item number 52092-18, colorway Birch), along with 3 and 3/8 yards of fabric 52092-18 Birch in the Nature Study print for the quilt backing. The nature study print provides a cohesive, organic feel to the reverse side of the finished quilt. The full pattern for Coral Bells is available for purchase at shopgirlquilts.com.

• Finished Size: 61" x 73"
• Fat Quarter Friendly: Yes – ideal for pre-cut bundles
• Backing Required: 4½ yards
• Key Fabric: Cora Collection FQ Bundle (52092-18 Birch); Nature Study print for backing
• Pattern Source: Shopgirl Quilts

Fat quarter friendly quilts are particularly popular among quilters who enjoy working with curated fabric bundles, as they eliminate the need for large yardage cuts and allow for maximum variety across the quilt top. The Coral Bells design takes full advantage of the breadth of the Cora Collection's prints and colorways.

Ribbon Candy (48" x 51") – Designed by Selma Bennett of Shopgirl Quilts

Ribbon Candy is a smaller throw or wall-hanging-sized quilt measuring 48 inches by 51 inches. This design features a highly curated fabric pull from across the Cora Collection, with precise quarter-yard cuts of a wide variety of prints and colorways. The name evokes the playful, looping visual rhythm that likely characterizes the quilt's pieced design — reminiscent of the swirling, candy-stripe aesthetic suggested by the fabric palette.

The yardage requirements for Ribbon Candy are notably detailed, calling for quarter-yard cuts of seventeen individual Cora Collection fabrics, plus a three-quarter yard cut of fabric 52364-X Multi, which also includes the binding. This multi-print fabric anchors the design and provides enough yardage to finish the quilt's edges cleanly. Backing requires 3 and 3/8 yards of additional fabric.

• Finished Size: 48" x 51"
• Backing Required: 3⅜ yards
• Binding Included In: 52364-X Multi (¾ yard)
• Pattern Source: Shopgirl Quilts
• Colorways Featured: White, Blush, Aqua, Teal, Lemon, Pink, Orange, Lipstick, Multi
