2021 Serendipity Quilt Along - Finishing - The Jolly Jabber Quilting Blog

Welcome back to the Fat Quarter Shop 2021 Charity Quilt Along, Serendipity! We’re on to the finishing portion of Serendipity! Congratulations to you for getting this far! Now, are you ready to put your quilt together?

We are sold out of the Serendipity Quilt Kit and Backing Set, so if you are just joining us, you can find the full fabric requirements to make a Serendipity Quilt just like ours (we used the Spring Brook fabric collection designed by Corey Yoder for Moda Fabrics).

Sew Along with Kimberly!

On Monday, JULY 5 at 9am CST, tune in to the Fat Quarter Shop YouTube Channel to sew along with Kimberly!

Our Serendipity Quilt and Cross Stitch Chart benefit Make-a-Wish Central & South Texas.

Fat Quarter Shop is happy to be partnering with Moda Fabrics to match up to $30,000 in donations for this worthy cause.

We continue to be amazed by the generosity of this sewing community and inspired by the stories of the children who have been granted life-changing Wishes. How does this fundraiser work? We offer the Serendipity patterns as FREE downloads during the event for a suggested donation of $5 each to our Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas campaign. Or feel free to make a larger, one-time donation of $50. No amount is too small and every bit counts.
