Sarah Johnson · 2026-08-14

Welcome back for week 25 of the Sewcialites 3 Quilt Along! We've been celebrating our amazing quilting community for months, and now we've reached the grand finale. Each week, one of the 25 oh-so-talented designers we've teamed up with has brought you a new block pattern. For this final week, we're thrilled to introduce the igniting Sparks Block by Jessica Dayon—a pattern that's sure to light up your quilting world. ### Meet the Designer: Jessica Dayon Jessica Dayon is an author, pattern designer, and fabric designer extraordinaire. She's known for her creative flair and attention to detail, and this block is no exception. The Sparks Block is rated for experienced quilters, with tons of tiny piecing that will test your skills and reward your patience. But don't worry—Jessica has plenty of foundation paper recommendations to help you along the way. If you're new to foundation paper piecing, this is a great chance to learn from a pro. ### Live Sewing Tutorial Want to see the Sparks Block come together?
