Few of you have asked to start a quilt-along based on free-form block from my book. At the moment, rail fence is the quilt that's getting all of your attention. I think it is a great quilt to make. Considering what I went through while choosing the layout, I am hoping you all will go through the same dilemma.
Here is when I first showed my quilt in process. I titled that post - Productive days are happy days.
At first fabric selection was the most fun part.. So I thought!
Making blocks was as much fun and that was just the beginning of my happiness. Once the blocks were ready, there was me and my design wall. There were so many possibilities to choose from!
So when you all suggested a quilt along, this became a first choice.
There are no specific requirements to be part of this. All you need is my book. I hope you have it already!
If you are a blogger, you can blog about it. If you are not, you can send me the pictures and I will share them on the blog.
I made a button for the QAL. Hooray!!!
You can grab it (if you like) and post it on your blog.
Here is the code for the QAL button.
Add it to your layout under
Configure HTML/JavaScript and you will have the button on your sidebar.
Are you a member of Cultural Fusion Quilts Blog? Would you like to be? Just send me an email and I will send you an invite to join.
There are no deadlines but sometime before Christmas, let's see some blocks in the making. I will leave rest to the process. I know once you start, you would want to make more than one or two.
Just ask Lynne at http://patcherymenagerie.blogspot.com/
I am also going to start my own version of this quilt. I am beyond excited to show you what this simple block can do.

ReplyDeleteLove this quilt... so, while I'm juggling balls in the air, I figure I may as while throw in another! Going now to sort a few fabrics!

Ok, I think I need to be part of this QAL. It's one of my favorites in the book. Well, ok, they are all my favorites. Should be fun.
ReplyDeletewill be fun to watch - I have too many commitments to play this time. I loved making my boy quilt with these blocks.!
ReplyDeleteI am so in....and its all Lynne Tyler's fault for being such a good teacher. I have 10 blocks done on my quilt as I started it on Jul 25th at Quilted Threads Class.
ReplyDeleteI just started making blocks this morning. Love the size!
ReplyDeleteI am in Sujata! I will post about it within two weeks, after my holidays! We will have a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, hugs
