Reserve your spot for the Cruising the Caribbean Complete Kit!
Cruising the Caribbean is a 13-month Mystery Block of the Month program designed by Gudrun. Each month reveals a new Caribbean destination, a new block, and a new chapter of the color story. You won't know where the journey takes you next until the reveal, and that's the whole point.
This isn't just a quilt. It's a travel experience wrapped in fabric. Cultural, colorful, educational, and a whole lot of fun. Gudrun designed each block to reflect the spirit of a different stop along the way, building into a quilt that tells the story of the entire cruise.
Your Complete Kit includes everything you need for the full journey: 16 yards of curated fabric for the quilt top and binding, 3 yards of wide backing, a specialty printed fabric exclusive to this program, all patterns, and 13 months of video classes with Gudrun guiding you through every block.
Finished quilt size: 91" x 104"
