I wanted to host a quilt-along and had my friends on IG vote on which of my patterns they wanted to do. Sweet Kisses won and I am excited to start next Monday, April 5th.
As I said, this is going to be very informal. There won't be any sign-ups, weekly blog posts or weekly emails. Just follow along with me on Instagram @gigis_thimble. I'll be posting there on my feed and in stories every Monday morning. Use the hashtag #sweetkissesqal to post your progress!
My friend Denise Hone from @happyvalleyquilting has offered to give one winner FREE EDGE-TO-EDGE QUILTING (up to a throw size) + return shipping! She is a fabulous quilter and I'm thankful to her for offering such a generous prize. I will pick a winner at the end of the QAL so be sure to stay caught up with me and post pictures because I'll be picking the winner from the hashtag pool of finished Sweet Kisses quilts!
Sweet Kisses is beginner-friendly and comes with 2 size options. Click HERE to visit my Etsy shop to purchase your copy.
I've had questions about other sizes. While the pattern only includes instructions for baby and throw sizes, I have created coloring sheets of all the sizes (baby - king) to help you determine how many blocks to make. The (approximate) finished quilt sizes are not listed on the coloring sheets unfortunately so take note of them here (click on each one for the printable coloring sheet):
This is a great scrap buster quilt and the pluses are 5" square friendly. There is A LOT of cutting in this pattern so I thought most people might want to cut as-they-go so I did not schedule cutting into the QAL timeline. If you prefer to do all the cutting upfront you can cut on your own this week or next.
