Cluck Cluck Sew - Brightly Quilt Pattern 🧵


Hi friends,

I just shared a brand new blog post all about a finished quilt I made early in my quilting journey — and it’s one of the very few paid quilt patterns I’ve ever purchased.

In the post, I’m reviewing the Brightly quilt pattern from Cluck Cluck Sew and talking honestly about:

  • Why this pattern worked so well for a beginner
  • Cutting lots of different fabric sizes (and why that’s actually a good thing)
  • What “scant 1/4 inch seam” means now (not what I thought it meant back then 😅)
  • Why this quilt was perfect for straight line quilting on a home sewing machine

This quilt was made for my granddaughter and is still being used years later — which is always the best compliment a quilt can get.

If you’re newer to quilting or feeling stuck making the same simple projects over and over, this one might be just the nudge you need.

Happy sewing,
Nikki
