There’s a particular kind of happiness that only comes with summer — a blanket in the grass, a basket of sandwiches, and the warmth of the sun settling right where you need it most. That feeling is the heart of Sunshine on My Shoulders, the newest addition to our Arctic Star Mixer series and the featured large project of our 2027 Quiltworx Box Program.
Designed by Judy and Bradley Niemeyer, with layout and colorway by Judel Niemeyer in Quiltster, this pattern brings together radiating star points, crisp geometry, and all the warmth of a perfect summer day. Pieced in the daisies and honeybees of Daisy Delights from QT Fabrics, it’s a rewarding foundation paper-piecing project for confident beginners and seasoned quilters alike — and it’s every bit as joyful as its name suggests.
As part of the Quiltworx Box Program, you’ll receive a full year of quarterly installments, along with free notions, fabrics, and bonus small patterns — plus a full year of online video instruction released quarterly on our YouTube channel, guiding you step-by-step through each major section of the quilt.
Not joining the Box Program? You can still purchase the pattern on its own and follow right along with every video release.
