Welcome back for week 25 of the Sewcialites 3 Quilt Along as we celebrate our amazing quilting community! Each week, one of the 25 oh-sew-talented designers we’ve teamed up with is bringing you a new block pattern. For the final week, we’re excited to introduce the igniting Sparks Block by Jessica Dayon!
Sparks by Jessica Dayon
This week’s designer, Jessica Dayon, is an author, pattern designer, and fabric designer extraordinaire. This week, she brought us the experienced-level Sparks Block with tons of tiny piecing and plenty of foundation paper recommendations to help you along! You can join Kimberly for a live sewing tutorial of the Sparks Block on Friday, August 14th, at 9AM CT, in the Behind The Seams Livestream on the Fat Quarter Shop YouTube Channel.
Jessica is sewing her Sewcialites 3 Quilt with her collection, The Bright Side for Blank Quilting.

Kimberly sewed the 6″ block using Lyda Rose by Bunny Hill Designs for Moda Fabrics, Gina Tell (@gina_tell_threadgraffiti) made the 3″ block in Wild Honey by Lella Boutique for Moda Fabrics, and Pat Sloan (@quilterpatsloan) pieced her 9″ block with Rosie by Fig Tree Quilts for Moda Fabrics.
Three of our Quilty Staffers are joining in and making the 9″ blocks using Blueprint by Camille Roskelley for Moda Fabrics, American Gatherings III by Primitive Gatherings for Moda Fabrics, and In the Garden by Corey Yoder for Moda Fabrics.
