Do you remember my pillow I made last year with the Liberty prints?
Well, the pattern is finally ready to send out to testers and get published! Wahoo!! I am loving this pattern! The designs are so versatile and endless. I could make this pattern a hundred times and not get bored with it. So... I was thinking of putting together a Quilt Along! what do you think???
I made a mock up of different designs I could put together. Do you believe it? ALL of these designs come from ONE BLOCK! ONE PATTERN! It's too much fun.
The pattern will be available in 12", 18", and 24" finished block sizes (sold separately or bundled at a discounted price). If I make this with 24" blocks the finished quilt will be 72" x 96". Or you could go smaller with the 18" block and make a 54" x 72" which would be a great size for the couch. Or do 3 x 3 blocks instead of the 3 x 4 I have shown here. or make some intense baby blankets with the 12" blocks and the above layout would finish at 36" x 48". Or make the larger blocks in a 4x4 layout.... anyway, you get the idea.
I have the QAL all planned out in my head and I think it will be awesome!! But before I begin recruiting guest bloggers, and sponsors, and I want to find out how much interest there is in this. Will you join me??? If there are only a few people interested then I'll probably pass and just blog about it rather than do all out. (sorry). But if there is a LOT of interest then I am going to work my butt off to get awesome prizes, sponsors, and guest bloggers with tips and design ideas, etc.
SO.... if you are interested, PLEASE help spread the word so more people can know about it and share their interest as well!
Do you want to join a Celestial Star Quilt Along???
If yes: Leave a comment and say YES!
I will also pick a winner or two to win a free copy of the pattern!
I will begin planning as soon as I feel that I've received a large enough response here on the blog. So direct all your friends here. :) Depending on how long that takes, I'm hoping to start the QAL mid-July. Pattern should be released in the next week or two.
Thanks so much!
I hope you're all having an amazing summer!! :)

ReplyDeleteI love the pattern. I'm usually too slow for a quilt along, but if I finish up my current projects then I might have time to devote to it.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a star! I love this pattern and would love to test it out if you still need help. I don't know if I'd have time for a quilt along until later this summer, but I definitely want to make a scrappy pillow and would love to test it out for you! Let me know!
