The Carolina Mingle Quilt (quilt reveal and pattern release)
Hello lovelies!
It’s time to show you my completed Carolina Mingle quilt!ย I am so tickled with this quilt, it’s fabrics and that it traveled to far away lands with me.ย See here if you haven’t already.
I hope that you will want to make this quilt too……because it’s available as a pattern!ย You can purchase it here.
I’ve got so many pictures to fit into this post, so warning, warning.ย I might have gotten a little snap happy.ย ๐
For this quilt I used all Sharon Holland’s Signature fabric collection.ย I wrote a post on those fabrics here.ย They were some of the yummiest fabrics I’ve worked with.ย Green seems to really agree with me, I think.ย Plus, those pops of pink!ย In the low volume sections of the quilt I used some of her older lines.
On the binding, I used this fabric of Sharon’s.ย A perfect binding fabric if I do have to say so myself.ย It’s also available in a coral shade.

I did my usual tighter meander in a Cotton and Steel thread of an aqua shade.ย It’s a lighter thread that blends well, making my quilting crinkly, but not standing out too much.ย I love it!ย ย If you are interested in learning more about my thread choices, see this post.
Some Stats
- Measures 66″ square
- Skill level:ย Experienced beginner (maybe made a few quilts already)
- A quick and easy finish without much fuss
- Uses an old fashioned method of foundation piecing to make the star’s beams (surprisingly simple to do)
- Uses mostly 1/4 yard cuts, so if you have many of those laying about….
- See the hashtag here to see the quilts my testers have been making
I really hope you will decide to make this quilt.ย I think it might be my favorite quilt pattern I’ve made.ย It’s so fuss-free, but still so lovely.ย I’m definitely going to make another before the year is out.ย This would make a perfect quilt to gift my mother at Christmas (she’s been whining for a quilt for sometime).
I hope you have the loveliest of weekends and get plenty of time to get some quilting done.
