I have a lot of sewing to do from now until April if I want to finish these quilt-alongs and be ready for the spring gardening season! So here's a peak at what I'll be doing the rest of the winter.
First, I joined Randi's Quilt-Along over at I Have to Say. She's taking suggestions for names of the quilt she designed that we'll all sew, and Road to Spring seems to be winning as the top choice. I'll post a button soon.
Randi gives lots of good information for picking your fabrics on this post.
Here are my fabrics that I had already picked out before reading her post, but I think they'll work. I'm going with a blue/brown/tan color scheme similar to the quilt she posted here. This quilt-along should last six weeks, and I'm looking forward to Randi's great tutorials.
Then I signed up for Rachel's Pinwheel Sampler Quilt-Along over at p.s. i quilt. Here is her pinwheel sampler she made last year using the fabric line Nikki by Pat Sloan.
I decided to order a Verna layer cake for this sampler, and here's a picture from the Fat Quarter Shop to show what the fabric will look like. This quilt-along should last 12 weeks.
And last (thankfully!)...I'm joining Vicki's Simple Squares Quilt-Along over at Sew Inspired. I'll be using the simple squares pattern to make her Figgy Pudding Christmas quilt. The fabric was ordered, and I'm waiting for it to arrive before I can begin.
If anyone wants to join any one of these quilt-alongs, there's still time. It's just the beginning for all three of them...just ask if you have any questions. I'll be giving updates as the weeks go on.
Has anyone else signed up for a quilt-along?
