Bold Blocks Quilt-A-Long
In conjunction with the release of the Bold Blocks quilt on 11/2, I am hosting my first quilt-a-long with support from the Longarm League. If you've never joined in on a quilt-a-long (QAL) a QAL is where multiple quilters across the globe sew the same quilt pattern using the schedule I've created below. And yes, there will be weekly prizes and winners (revealed each week)!
Schedule for the quilt-a-long:
11/2: Pattern releases
Week of 11/2: Purchase pattern and pick fabric
Week of 11/9: Cut fabric & sew mini blocks
Week of 11/16: Sew full blocks
Week of 11/23: Catch up week
Week of 11/30: Complete quilt
Sign up to join the QAL so you don’t miss the weekly newsletter. The QAL will take place on Instagram. Post your weekly progress to the hashtag #boldblocksquiltalong
I look forward to seeing your #boldblocksquiltalong quilts!
Post the I AM IN! image on your Instagram feed and stories using the hashtag #boldblocksquiltalong for extra first-week giveaway entries!
