SewEndipitous® Maker’s Note:
The Sugar Skull Quilt is wonderfully bold — graphic, colorful, and full of personality from top to bottom.
We especially love the decorative details in this design: the floral crown, heart-shaped eyes, little pink accents, green motifs, and strong black features that give the quilt such a striking presence. It is a great choice for makers who want something a little different, a little dramatic, and completely unforgettable.
