Custom Machine Quilt A Coastal Summer Quilt with Natalia Bonner

In this exclusive PNQ Academy video, Natalia takes you behind the scenes as she quilts a stunning Coastal Summer quilt by Sherri McConnell, pieced by McKenzie. Her goal? To infuse the quilt with a relaxed, boho-style vibe — and she achieves it beautifully using a combination of the 4-N-1 Machine Quilting Ruler, the Mini 4-N-1 Machine Quilting Ruler, and free-motion quilting.

You’ll watch Natalia’s full process as she carefully plans and executes her quilting, blending ruler work with flowing free-motion designs, and giving this Coastal Summer quilt personality and movement. Along the way, she shares her thought process, tips, and techniques that you can apply directly to your own projects.

Whether you want to master ruler quilting, explore free-motion techniques, or simply enjoy seeing a quilt come to life, this video is packed with inspiration and practical instruction.
