It is that time of the year for another fun Sewcialites quilt along! I had so much fun last year, and I’m definitely not missing out on the fun this year too.
You can find all about this free Sewcialites 2 quilt along and the free sampler quilt pattern HERE>.
There will be free video tutorials, so if you are a beginner, be sure to pick up all the tips Kimberly has for you as she sews the blocks in the videos. I love picking up various tips from different quilters as they teach me become a better quilter.
While there’s no hard and fast rule in quilting, there are definitely some time-saving tips and piecing tricks that just make things easier that we can pick up by watching other quilters sew.
I learned so much from sewing along last year,
You can see my first sewcialites quilt HERE>
This year I’m sewing mine using a fat quarter bundle by Tasha Noel called the Quilt Fair!
I am using a Bella solid for the background and I am yet to choose the accent fabrics. I might just be using solid pink, teal and yellow to match some of the fabrics in this collection.
In the information packet that is already available HERE, you can see the blocks that we will be making and the final layout.
It is such a unique layout and I’m excited to try that layout too.
This week will be the first week to kick off this quilt a long, therefore it is definitely a great time to join in!
First Block: Perennial Block
This block is designed by Bev of the Flamingo Toes.
Here is my 9″ inch block
Isn’t sweet?
This collection is so cute. You can still check out this collection in store HERE>
Now I am contemplating making the 3″ block!
It will surely be a challenge and I have to make sure I’ll starch fabric for making the smaller one.
I didn’t starch this time for the fat quarter bundle. I was a little lazy to starch all the fat quarters. I think it will be fine for the 9″ inch blocks. We’ll make it work right?
Come and join along, this is going to be a fun quilt-a-long with so many participants, there’s so many eye-candy to enjoy as well.
Let me know what are your plans if you’re joining in too and use the hashtag #sewcialites2 on instagram and join the Facebook group HERE>
