Detailed Description
There is something almost magical about gorgeous sunflowers in full bloom during the golden hour in late summer.
Imagine stepping onto the porch just as the sun begins its slow descent toward the horizon. The heat of the day has softened into a gentle warmth, and the sky glows in shades of honey, amber, and peach. Before you stretches an endless field of sunflowers, their golden faces turned toward the fading light as though they are trying to hold onto the sun for just a few moments longer.
A soft breeze stirs the blossoms, creating ripples of gold across the field. Butterflies drift lazily from flower to flower, and somewhere in the distance, crickets begin their evening song. The old rocking chair beside you creaks gently, and draped across its arm is a beautiful quilt stitched with sunflowers and butterflies—its colors echoing the very scene unfolding before your eyes.
You pull the quilt around your shoulders and take a deep breath.
In that moment, there is nowhere else you need to be.
The worries of the day seem to disappear, replaced by the simple comfort of warm sunshine, blooming flowers, and the quiet beauty of nature. It is one of those rare moments that stays with you forever—a memory of peace, gratitude, and the feeling of being completely at home.
The Made the Grade Quilt Kit featuring the Sunshine Whispers Collection by Wilmington Prints captures that feeling in every stitch.
Every fabric in this collection feels like a love letter to late summer and early autumn. Brilliant sunflowers bloom against dramatic black backgrounds, delicate butterflies dance among soft floral prints, and warm shades of golden yellow, cream, sage green, and autumn bronze create a palette that feels both cheerful and comforting.
The Made the Grade pattern was thoughtfully designed to let these gorgeous prints shine. The arrangement of blocks creates beautiful movement across the quilt, allowing the sunflowers and butterflies to take center stage while evoking the gentle rhythm of flowers swaying in a countryside breeze.
Included in this stunning kit are:
• One 10 Karat Layer Cake Bundle of Sunshine Whispers fabrics
• One 40 Karat Pack of Dry Brush Whipped Cream Strip-Pies
• Beautiful coordinating fabrics that create a quilt filled with warmth, color, and timeless charm.
More than simply a quilting project, this quilt is an invitation to slow down and savor life's quiet moments—the golden light of sunset, the beauty of a sunflower field in bloom, and the joy that comes from creating something meaningful with your own hands.
Whether draped over a rocking chair on the porch, folded at the foot of a guest bed, or wrapped around your shoulders on a cool autumn evening, the Made the Grade Quilt becomes more than fabric and thread. It becomes a reminder of peaceful evenings, warm sunshine, and the simple beauty that makes a house feel like home.
Limited quantities are available, and once these beautiful Sunshine Whispers fabrics are gone, they may never return. Bring home a little piece of golden-hour magic and create a quilt that will wrap your family in warmth and memories for years to come.
