I'm very excited to begin this Journey with you!
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be a wonderful Sew Along!
I'll be watching your progress on this beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteI ordered my pattern. What size blocks will you be doing? I think 9" blocks would be difficult on some of those designs.
ReplyDeleteI've completed the most detailed blocks at 9". It just depends on if you like to work tiny. I happen to love it! I will be sharing tips on the blog. I actually think I could be addicted to tiny narrow stems!
DeleteLooking forward to this fun project! I hope to complete a block a month-that's a good goal for me since I have other applique projects that I am involved in. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your support of the Virginia Quilt Museum!
DeleteI have three blocks done and they work up quite fast. I think a block a month is very doable for us multi-project stitchers.
Variety is a good thing!
So looking forward to this!
ReplyDeleteI'm in - just bought the PDF pattern. It's such a fresh and cheerful looking quilt - I'm looking forward to making it. Thank you for the invite to the sew-along. Ady
ReplyDeleteWelcome! So glad you are joining us. Looking forward to seeing your fabric choices, lots of variety in this one.
DeleteSo glad you are doing this one - I'm heading over to the blog! Looks like there will be plenty of company starting this lovely quilt :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I would so love to be able to attend in person!
ReplyDeleteCatch you in mid October for sushi!
DeleteThis looks so tempting! Trouble is I have some other projects and am quite slow on all of them. I really took a good look at this one and I know that I could handle some of the blocks but others I imagine I'd mutilate...so above my current skill level. I am still going to think about it but either way..it will be fun to watch and see your tips which can only help me down the line!
ReplyDeletegreat quilt for a sew along. I'll look forward to watching!
ReplyDeleteWell I weakened and ordered it. Have the PDF...took the first five to Staples to have them enlarged. I decided that I might not do the entire quilt but at least 1/2 to 3/4 of it :) Going in at the 200% enlargement and 20 inch blocks and many of the pieces still look wee little, lol! : ) Deep breath :)
ReplyDeleteSo happy to have you with us! With the support of so many also making the quilt, I am sure you will have great success! I am loving the 9" size, but I like tiny details...
