It is available as an individual pattern, a kit or a shop sample!

Original release date 10/31/2025. Ordering cut-off for this shop kit is May 14th, 2025. This shop kit includes:
– Fabric for one quilt top and binding (backing not included)
– A PIECED QUILT TOP–yes, not a digital, but a pieced top so stores can quilt and hang the sample right away to get sign ups.
– Suggested notions list

I fell in love with this line of batiks as well from Riley Blake Designs, Polka Pop Collection. It is available as individual bolts, an 8-yard case pack, pre-cuts, and coordinated bundles of fat quarters. I chose to share the fat quarter bundles so you could see a thumbprint of each fabric.

Don’t you just love it??? Now to decide how you are going to market it…..
