Quilt Alongs

If you're interested in joining a quilt along through a blog, Instagram or Facebook, here are a few suggestions. The first one listed isn't necessarily modern, but it could be with the use of solids and modern fabrics. The other two are definitely modern. All of them are free!

1) Year of Scrappy Triangles (#yearofscrappytriangles) is led by Leila Gardunia (@sewnbyleila) at www.SewnbyLeila . Each week Leila is offering a free 6-1/2” square (unfinished) foundation paper pieced block. Here’s the link to the first block: http://sewnbyleila.blogspot.com/2017/10/block-1-year-of-scrappy-triangles.html

If you need to learn how to foundation paper piece, Leila offers a tutorial here: http://sewnbyleila.blogspot.com/2017/11/the-ultimate-guide-to-foundation-paper.html

2) The Bernina Zen Chic Quilt Along (#berninazenchicqal) is being led by Brigitte Heitland (@zenchicmoda). It too is mostly, but not all, foundation paper piecing to make pieced 60-degree triangles that finish into a queen-sized quilt. Find this one on the Bernina blog: http://blog.bernina.com/en/2017/08/bernina-zen-chic-quilt/

3) The Wayward Transparency Quilt Along (#waywardtransparencyqal) is being led by Yvonne Fuchs (@quiltingjetgirl). This is a great way to learn about color and value. Steps are given to make a 48” square or 68” square quilt. Go here to get started: https://quiltingjetgirl.com/wayward-transparency-quilt-along/

If you come across a modern block-of-the-month or quilt along, send us an email so we can share it with all our members. Thanks!
