Today, we’re excited to introduce the Michigan Beauty Quilt to our Classic & Vintage Quilt Series, a loving tribute to one of our favorite designers, Minick & Simpson. This fabric line, Grand Haven, is their final collection, so it’s only fitting we created this Michigan Beauty Quilt in honor of their artistry and the Michigan towns that have inspired them. Let’s dive into the details of this beautiful quilt and explore our quilt block video tutorial!
The Michigan Beauty Quilt Pattern
Our Michigan Beauty Quilt Pattern offers four sizes including Tabletopper, Lap, Twin, and Queen. Tailored for intermediate quilters, this classic block incorporates half-square triangles and flying geese which, with careful piecing, create a truly striking effect. Our sample and quilt kit are lap size, but the pattern includes instructions for all four sizes! The Michigan Beauty Quilt Kit and Backing Set are available in this beautiful fabric collection and the included 2″ Half Square Triangle Paper and 2″ x 4″ Flying Geese Quilt Block Foundation Paper will make the quilting experience seamless.

The Spool Cabinet Quilt Block
Prepare to be inspired by the Michigan Beauty Quilt Block, measuring 12.5″ x 12.5″ unfinished. This versatile block is a great addition to your quilting repertoire, whether for the Michigan Beauty Quilt or other projects. You can even make a couple of coordinating throw pillows to match your quilt since the Michigan Beauty blocks finish so big! With our step-by-step video tutorial, mastering this beautiful block becomes easy and fun.
