The moment I saw the dreamy colors in Minki Kim’s newest collection, Sunsetridge- I knew I had to go bold. So I grabbed my nine favourite prints and threw in a Confetti Cotton in Rouge—because why not add a little drama? It’s cozy, it’s punchy, it's a cozy hug that knows it’s the star of the show.
Let’s dive into making a Peace of Mind Quilt—can’t you just picture it tucked away in a cozy cabin, waiting for slow mornings and crackling fires? It’s the kind of project that practically hums with cabin magic.
This is the lap size (48 ½" x 48 ½")—just right for the end of the bed, your favorite reading chair, or the nursery of a baby who already knows they run the show.
I'm always so thankful when I get to share new collections in some of my favorite places—especially when it brings me to Riding Mountain National Park. This time, I had the chance to shoot at Smokey Hollow, and the amazing team there generously let me use the STUNNING 1930s Kippans Cabin. How lucky am I? They're a family-owned, female-led small business, and honestly, some of the nicest people you could meet. I'm so grateful for their kindness and support.
If you are heading up to Clear Lake, be sure to book your stay!
Rectangle pairs will make up each tiny heart at the center of the Peace of Mind Block. If you want it to be scrappy, make sure you have (9) different prints for the lap size version.
Using the template provided, cut out your orange peel shapes.
It's fun to mix and match the prints for fun combinations. Here are the (9) prints I used from the Sunsetridge collection:
- Rouge Flowers
- Lodgepole Main
- Blush Main
- Mint Roses
- Salmon Roses
- Lodgepole Plaid
- Ballerina Roses
- Honey Flowers
- Seafoam Dots
Finishing Touches
Like a touch of magic, the quilting brings the design to life—adding depth, texture, and a bit of floral whimsy. It’s where the quilt truly begins to sparkle. By using minky backing with a greater pile, the stitches appear more defined- giving it that satisfying "puff" in the negative space. I used the pantograph Be Mine by Urban Elementz. It's one of my favourites!
And of course, the last decision you need to make is the binding. I am all about the plaid- it was the first decision I made on this quilt. I knew I wanted it to be the Rouge Plaid. It's perfect!
Time to Cozy Up Your Space
Could this quilt be any more perfect for this kitchen? All I want is to curl up at the island, wrapped in this quilt, a good book in hand and a warm cup of coffee by my side—pure bliss.
The lap size version measures 48 1/2" x 48 1/2"- the very best size for taking with you anywhere in the house. Just toss the quilt over your lap and you’re instantly wrapped in cozy comfort. It also folds up easily and looks right at home draped over a chair, adding that perfect touch of warmth to any room.
