Excuses and a Quilt-a-long

June 22, 2009

A few

small projects

have gotten in the way of the tutorial I promised.

Sorry.

But I’m on it now.

So how about if we do it like this: I’ll post stages of the process of making the Roundabout Quilt and you can follow along (quilt-along if you prefer) or wait until it’s all finished and I’ll put it together in one handy PDF. This is a great pattern for curve-piecing-newbies and I think it’s fun for more experienced quilters as well. The finished quilt will be a perfect napping size of approximately 52″x72″.

If you feel like quilting along feel free to grab a button,

spread the word (the more the merrier after all) and come back Friday afternoon for the fabric and cutting requirements. There just may be a giveaway at the end of the rainbow!

I’m in! I think it’s the perfect summer project, for sure! Hopefully I’ll be able to quilt right along with you.

Wow lady, you have been busy! The quilts are gorgeous. And aren’t the coffee cozies just the best? xoxox

I will try to join in with the quilt-along, though I normally poop out, but I will definitely enjoy the tutorials!
Thanks!

Especially love that first one. All beautiful, though, love the palate. So inspiring, as always. I long to get into the craft room. I have to transform it into a guest room next week. Wish me luck!

Maybe I’ll try this as my first quilt-along. We are moving next month, but I’ll see if I can keep up. Thanks for hosting!

Really enjoying the pillows!

Rebekah June 25, 2009 at 7:07 pm

Beautiful! The patchwork pillows are stunning!

Tonya June 26, 2009 at 1:24 pm

I love the pillows!
I think I am in. I love this quilt, and I would love to participate in a quilt a long. But, I am so far behind on the other projects I have purchased fabric for and haven’t started. But, I have no willpower and I can’t resist.

Caroline June 26, 2009 at 3:43 pm

I love the coffee cozies. They are so cute! The quilt and the pillows are great, too. Thank you for the tutorial!

Amy June 29, 2009 at 9:22 pm

LOVE the quilting on that little quilt. Eek!

This looks fun! I’m swamped right now, but will love to have it all when you get it in the pdf! You are so sweet to share!
