Paradise in Blooms — inspiration for the Tucson exclusive project.

Every Quiltworx University event features a one-of-a-kind exclusive project — and Tucson is no exception. We are absolutely thrilled to announce that this event’s exclusive project is our beloved Paradise in Blooms Mixer*, and this time, it’s coming back with a full re-imagining that will take your breath away. Brand-new mixer blocks, never-before-seen layouts, fresh techniques, and all the creative brilliance of the Quiltworx Design Team are being brought together to create something truly special — and truly unique to you.

This isn’t just a repeat. It’s an entirely new experience built on a foundation you already love. You’ll use Quiltster to plan and personalize your own colorway, and your custom-cut kit will be cut down to strip size, labeled, and waiting when you arrive in Tucson.

NOTE: *For those coming to the Montana Quiltworx University, while the project is the same Mixer Series, we can’t release all of our great ideas at once! So, we will be dividing this quilt into two releases, including different layouts, new blocks, and fresh designs.
