Ready for another Sew Along?

 I'm hosting another sew along through my Alamosa Quilt Company Sew Along Group on Facebook. 

The Sew Along information has been posted in our Alamosa Quilt Company Sew Along Group Facebook page. If you haven't joined the group you can click the link, answer the two simple questions, and you will be in the group. You MUST answer the simple questions. The questions are a simple line of defense against spammers and creeps. The questions will keep out the chatbots but not real humans so if you see anything funny being posted on the page please let me know.

Details: This is a fat quarter based project but you can also use scraps.

If you are using scraps you need to separate your fabrics into two piles - lights and darks. Cut everything 1 1/2" by 2 1/2". You need sixteen light 1 1/2" by 2 1/2" pieces and sixteen dark 1 1/2" by 2 1/2" pieces per block.

If you want to use fat quarters like I did then don't do any cutting ahead of time. I'm going to show you how to cut your fat quarters the most efficient way. For my quilt I am using 10 fat quarters - 5 lights and 5 brights/darks. This will make a 40" by 48" finished size quilt. More fat quarters will obviously make a larger quilt.

This will be a one day quilt along, Saturday March 18, 2023. If you are busy that day or just want to wait to see what the project is before you commit, that is just fine. The directions will stay in the Facebook group for a while. Later in the week afterwards, the directions will be collected into one post and put here on my blog with a link to the blog post on the Free Patterns page on the shop website. So there are several ways to get the information after the fact, but the only way to get the clues on the 18th is through the Facebook group or come to the shop and sew here.

If you want to come and sew along at the shop on Saturday, March 18, 2023, then just let me know. Our classroom can comfortably seat 5 people with sewing machines, but we can rearrange a bit and squeeze in one or two more. The regular Sew Day rate of $5 for the day applies.
