Twirl through the winter wonderland of our newest Congo Star Mixer, Sugar Plum Fairy. Inspired by the whimsy and elegance of the Nutcracker’s iconic dance, this delightful 68″ square quilt glistens with frosty blues, regal purples, and pops of festive pinks and burgundies—each color elegantly softened by a creamy field of fabrics curated from Assorted Hoffman 2025 collections.

Whether you’re decking your halls or adding a touch of holiday sophistication to your seasonal décor, Sugar Plum Fairy is a beginner-friendly gem. With only straight-line piecing and no Y-seams, it’s the perfect introduction to strip piecing a lone star—the Judy Niemeyer way—offering a stress-free stitching experience ideal for newcomers ready to dance into quilting.

Finished at 68″, this quilt sparkles with potential. You’ll find expansion options to grow your project, Replacement Papers if you’re craving an encore, and a full cast of notions to help your creative choreography come together seamlessly. Dress your walls, your guest bed, or your heart in a quilt that pirouettes between classic beauty and seasonal charm.

Whether you’re gifting it or keeping it for your own winter wonderland, Sugar Plum Fairy is a celebration of elegance, sparkle, and joy.
