pixiesummerhome600
my friends – Sally and Julie and I are going to host a quilt along this summer…
Sally, Julie and I
just to give you a visual, we all tend to hang out together at Quilt Market…
and speaking of Quilt Market…we decided when we were just together to do a Quilt Along this summer….

for the next 12 weeks, we will be creating an awesome new quilt together
we will have two week assignments AND three different examples to help you choose how you will create your very own Pixie Summer Home Quilt

every two weeks, we will post a new block tutorial (created by Julie Dueck of the Intrepid Thread) from which you can create a series of blocks to use in your very own setting of the quilt. With the block tutorial we will post a linky party for you to show off your progress. After four block tutorials and linky parties, we will post suggestions of how to finish your quilt top, and then the last post will be about quilting your quilt, both with linky parties for you to join in with us.

Each of us will be posting giveaways with the block postings, and we will have a Midway prize and an ending Grand Prize. Each post in the linky party earns you an entry for these two prizes!!

Our main goal with this Quilt Along is to sew together. We know that sewing is an awesome experience, but it is made even sweeter and amazing when we sew together!

    I love the quilt variations you have come up with! I just love the Pixie Noel line– those bunnies are too cute.

    I don’t think I can resist this — the only problem will be deciding which option – or options? – to make!

    I’ll have to think about this. I just finished a house quilt that I made totally on a whim, and since then I have seen 2 QALs for quilts with houses. Mine was super fun to make, so maybe I need to make more house quilts…..
    I’ll add a photo of my just finished quilt to your link, I hope it’s okay that it’s not actually “in progress” any more.

    I have a deadful record with QAL’s, but will give it a go. Looking forward to it.

    I am going to swim through my stash and see what I can find to follow along with this fun project! It would be awesome to have a holiday project done more than a day before the holiday!! Loving those colors in your giveaway package, Brooke! (I also entered my link for this week’s WIP!)

    Great idea to have a quilt along! It helps to motivate the quilter who procrastinates like me!
