Congratulations! You have constructed all of the blocks for Quilt Concert 2023: Twinkle Twinkle. Now its time to put it all together!
Are you ready to link up for the Grand Prize Drawing? Make sure to read to the end of the post for all of the important details!
This post is packed full of information, so keep reading for all of the details about the block and how to win this week’s giveaway!

Assembly Instructions
Below are the suggested assembly instructions for your Quilt Concert Quilt Top. This is the layout that works with the cutting instructions for the background fabric, and it’s the layout that Lissa and I used to complete our tops.
The instructions are available to download for free through 11:59 pm Eastern on Thursday, August 24, 2023. If you miss the free download, you can purchase the assembly instructions alone for $2.50 through the end of the quilt-along. The full pattern is available for purchase at any time through my Etsy Shop.
A note on your final quilt top assembly:
All nine blocks of Quilt Concert 2023 must be included in your final quilt top in order to be eligible for the grand prize. If you would like to adjust the layout, make the quilt larger, smaller, put in some additional blocks, et cetera, you can still enter the final link for a chance to win the grand prize as long as all nine blocks are included in the design.
Sponsor and Prize of the Week
Hobbs Bonded Fibers is back as our final weekly sponsor! Hobbs is my go-to batting, and I’m thrilled that we get to share this fantastic product with you.
Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 100% Natural Cotton with Scrim Batting is designed for quilters who enjoy using natural cotton batting and who are seeking extra strength in that batting. Strong, but also soft (and softer after each washing), Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 100% Natural Cotton with Scrim Batting is perfect for quilts where a low loft is desired.

How the Winners are Selected
Three winners will be selected at random from the submitted quilt tops. Those winners will be placed with the appropriate prize based on their location. In the event that none of the three initial winners is a US resident (or a US/Canadian resident), the first name drawn will receive the International prize and the remaining prize(s) will be re-drawn.
Winners will be notified no later than September 1, 2023. Winners will have 48 hours following notification to acknowledge acceptance of their prize and provide a shipping address. If this acknowledgment does not happen within that timeframe, a new winner will be selected.
