Create eye-catching movement with the Stripe Party Illusion Pattern by Bob Benson, a bold, modern quilt design made from a single striped fabric. A simple cut-and-swap technique transforms each block into a striking arrangement filled with color, depth, and visual motion. Although the finished quilt looks intricate, the approachable construction and thoughtful fabric placement make it an engaging project for quilters ready to explore a clever new technique. The completed quilt measures approximately 35" by 56".
Bright, cheerful color flows across the Over the Rainbow Stripes Fabric in a lively arrangement of rainbow-inspired bands. This versatile striped print is an easy way to add movement and playful energy to quilts, children’s projects, bags, décor, and colorful sewing accessories. Part of the Over the Rainbow Fabric Collection, it is digitally printed on 100% cotton for crisp detail and vibrant color. Box includes 2-yards of fabric.
The Fiskars Rotating Cutting Mat makes trimming fabric, paper, and other craft materials easier by letting you turn the work surface instead of repositioning your project. Its rotating design is especially helpful for squaring quilt blocks, cutting around templates, and making precise angled cuts while keeping fabric flat and aligned. Clear measurement markings and grid lines support accurate placement, while the durable self-healing surface helps protect rotary cutter blades and maintain a smooth cutting area. Ideal for quilting, sewing, scrapbooking, and everyday crafting, this versatile cutting mat brings greater control and convenience to your workspace.
The OLFA 45mm Straight Handle Rotary Cutter offers reliable, effortless cutting for quilting, sewing, and craft projects. Its sharp tungsten-steel blade creates clean, straight edges through materials such as cotton, flannel, cardstock, leather, and vinyl, while the classic straight handle features textured grooves for a steady, comfortable grip in either the right or left hand. A sliding blade guard adds safety between cuts, and the built-in hanging hole provides convenient storage near your cutting table. Preloaded with an OLFA RB45-1 rotary blade, this versatile cutter is an excellent choice for trimming fabric and cutting accurate quilt strips and shapes.
The 13-1/2" x 13-1/2" Sew Creative Wool Pressing Mat delivers crisp, professional results in a convenient size that fits neatly beside your sewing machine. Made from 100% New Zealand wool and measuring 1/2" thick, its dense, felted surface retains and evenly distributes heat to press fabric from both sides at once, helping seams lie flatter in less time. The natural texture gently grips fabric to reduce shifting or stretching while providing a firm, cushioned surface for precision piecing, appliqué, embroidery, garment sewing, and quilting. Lightweight and portable, it is easy to use at home, in classes, or at retreats on any stable, heat-resistant surface. Please note the brand may change depending on availability.
SPO Bob Stickers bring cheerful personality to your sewing machine, tools, and workspace with a fun, collectible design featuring Bob, your friendly stitching sidekick. Measuring approximately 2-3/8", this compact, durable sticker fits nicely on sewing machines, machine covers, toolboxes, rulers, and other sewing-room surfaces. Whether you are starting a new project or finishing a quilt, Bob adds a playful reminder to keep sewing creative, inspiring, and fun.
More than 20 years ago, my husband, Michael, gave me a gift that changed my life—a sewing class at Marguerite's Sewing School in Nashville, Tennessee. I had no idea that one class would turn into a lifelong passion! Before long, I had taken every garment sewing class they offered, and all that practice paid off when I earned Best of Show ribbons in Adult Sewing at the Tennessee State Fair three years in a row, from 2009 through 2011.
These days, you'll rarely find me sewing clothes because I fell head over heels for quilting. I love the creativity, the challenge, and the joy of turning simple pieces of fabric into something beautiful. If you had told me back then that retirement would lead to me teaching quilt blocks on camera for people all over the world, I would have laughed. But thanks to Sewing Parts Online, that's exactly what happened, and it's been one of the greatest adventures of my life.

This box is great and the quilt is coming together really easily! My only complaint - if we have to have a complaint, is that my squares are slightly different from the ones shown due to the way my yardage was cut. I’ll still make the right amount of blocks, but the lines are shifted slightly down a couple of the lines.
Awesome fun All blocks completed will sew top this week
One of the items in this ambassador box was on back order, but I was informed of the situation and kept updated on the shipping. This was my first time working with the rotating cutting board. It did make cutting so much easier. I enjoyed working with the wool pressing mat. Definitely a keeper. As for the fabric, it was ok. As I got to the end of the 2 yards the color strips faded. I also clearly did something wrong with the cutting as I only had 36 good squares not the 40 the pattern stated. It still looks good (not like the picture on the box) and it will make a nice baby blanket. It measures 42" square. Will I attempt this again..... yes. The learning experience was worth the purchase.
These will be charity quilts. I added a solid border to make the correct size. The pattern was simple and fun. Good fabric quality, all products are high quality and perfect for this project.
How can you not love a box of goodies that is from Bob. The box alone is fabulous. Of course the goodies inside are super, BUT I'm in love with the box. Cindy, Medford Oregon
I'd love the box and all the tools and pattern.However, the fabric is disappointing. It feels like a cheaper fabric and it's not a very sturdy weave. It feels more like older cotton fabric versus the quality cotton fabric at the local quilt store.
I really liked everything that was included in the box. I am going to order some more of the fabric to make a larger quilt. Thank you.
Beautiful pattern. Just wish I had a ruler that size.
Received this two days before I left on vacation. I cannot wait to start on this project. I love watching Bob with all his helpful tips on quilting.
Everything was exactly what I was expecting! Fantastic material and accessories. The only thing that was very disappointing and will definitely think twice about ordering again is then tariff taxes and fees that I ending up paying along with the exchange on the canadian dollar which I knew I would but the order ended up costing me over well over $200.00 so I will think again before ordering 😔
I purchased this box for my husband who recently got interested in quilting. He always enjoyed watching Bob’s videos. He is excited!
The contents arrived safely but the box was damaged during shipping. There are 2 holes punched into the box. The front of the box appeares to have been crushed because there is a crease or fold in the cardboard through the "Ambobssador Box" printing. I am happy the contents are not damaged.
Everything is just as described. I haven’t started the quilt yet but love the colors of the material and can’t wait to work it up! Shipping was timely and packaged nicely. This was my first time ordering but now I know I will be ordering again!
Ever since I saw Bob first demonstrate his Stripes Quilt Blocks I wanted to make one. And with this kit I got not only the pattern and fabric, but I also got the bonus of the wool felt ironing pad, rotating cutting mat and a new rotary cutter! The box it shipped in is a real bonus & I smiled when I saw that. You can always count on quick delivery, too.......now it is time for me to sew this beauty. Thanks Bob ;)
Great fabric not a thread bare fabric (Everyone who quilts know what I’m saying) soft and Irons up with no water or starch. This was the first and definitely not my last for the fabrics this company has to offer.
❤️
I love this box. The striped material is vibrant and has a good feel. The pressing mat is a perfect size for working next to my machine or taking to a class. The rotating mat reduces my cutting time and increases my accuracy. The addition of the printed pattern and the rotary cutter make this kit a great value.
This will be a fun quilt to make 😀
I had to peek inside the box but I must finish a project before I start this one. I love the bright colors. Bob ‘s video on “how to”, is what sold me. I’m looking forward to making this. I’d recommend this to anyone interested. Thanks
All was well except for the fabric. The ends were not cut straight causing me to loss about two inches on each. Also, there was an issue with the repeated stripe print. In the middle of the two yards there was a 4 inch section that did not match the pattern repeat. Therefore, I could only get seven matching 8.5" strips cut WOF instead of the needed eight to get the 40 blocks called for in the directions. The finished product will be quite smaller than expected.
Love this I am a beginner it so far so good
I am very impressed with the value of this box
This such a cool technique! I've only gotten the squares cut and am looking forward to doing the diagonal cuts and watching this simple stripe fabric transform.
I love the material so much I ordered 2 more yards. Love the rotating cutting mat and rotary cutter. The pressing mat is awesome.
Can’t wait for next offering!!
What a cool quilt ! So easy and looks so complicated. Thank you. I'm now looking for more striped materials to try with this pattern.
The fabric is beautiful, the instructions are easy to follow. When I finish it, this quilt will be beautiful.
Haven’t sewed yet looking forward to it, liked the pattern and material.
P
Can’t wait to make this quilt!!!
Love it! Great value and great products!
Love the rotating cutting mat. Many thanks to Bob for the autograph heart ❤️, it will be used as a project box.
My experiences with SPO have been awesome!!! When i saw Bobs ambassador box I ordered it immediately!!! I am not disappointed in any way which I often am with quilt kits. THANK YOU!! Lifetime customer!!! Andrea Brown
After the back order; glad you could ship it
This is genius! Everything in the box was useful. I love the rotating mat. I can’t wait to finish the quilt.
Love it but need to finish other projects first. I love the felt mat and the revolving cutting that replaces my broke one.
I already put the sticker on my machine and am finishing the quilt top! The written pattern was very helpful and the tools amazing!!!! Thank you Am-Bob-ssador!!!!!!!
Just the best!!! I love it. I'm in the middle of making it and the instructions and video are a dream. Only downside is I live in Canada and the $110 USD cost $248 CAD and made it very expensive. Unfortunately I cannot order another Ambassador box.
Love the stuff haven’t had a chance to make the quilt yet. I’ve been working on another project, but I love the rotating cutting mat. I got it specifically to take to my sewing classes when I go because the other one I have is too large to carry around.
It’s a great box. Makes a really cute quilt top
