Part of being a quilt maker is learning new things... I want you to try one of the free classes, this link goes to the quilting ones, but there are free classes in every topic! Knitting, crochet, cooking... DOWNLOAD ONE FOR FREE
I am so excited this sew along has started!!!!
Moda Fabric has a new sew along called 'Be my Neighbor'. Gorgeous big house blocks with trees, birds, stars and a lovely sail boat just for me!
The blocks are free, which is so generous!!
Your favorite quilt shops are running this, and I sewed up a special block that you'll see during this.
But what's a sew along, or a neighborhood without a few friends?
Nothing of course!! The fun part of being a quilter is sewing with other quilters!!!
This full quilt is a second colorway.. fun fun! and in my Facebook group Charlene, Candace, Laura, Pam, Conne, Marti, and Sarah have showed blocks so far.. they are gorgeous! You can Click the image above for a large photo.
I am on my home from 2 back to back to events.. I'm going to make a house... and I'm thinking of red and white... i'm feeling obsessed with that.. wonder how that will look?
What colors will you use?
General Information:
- The finished quilt will measure 68″ x 84 1/2″.
- There are 16 blocks in the quilt top. The rows are separated by horizontal sashing strips.
- These are very scrappy blocks so exact yardage for a set number of fabrics has not been calculated. Just mix your favorite Modalicious fabrics to create your very own quilt-hood!
Fabric Requirements:
- 16 House Blocks: Assorted Prints & Solids
- Background and Sashing: 4 -1/2 yards
- Borders: 1 – 1/4 yards
- Binding: 2/3 yard
- Backing: 4 – 3/4 yards
For a quilt using the same background for blocks, sashing and borders, you will need 5 – 3/4 yards total. For scrappy backgrounds, sashing and borders, allow for just a little bit more fabric.
So come on, won’t you be my neighbor?
