Remember this quilt? Well, it's been 12years! Twelve! You've read correctly. 12. I've finally had it quilted and I couldn't be happier. It's my first quilt and it's finally finished. I still don't particularly like it, but I LOVE it because I made it! I'm so proud of my accomplishment and it's wonderful to remember all the techniques, tricks and mistakes I learned along the way. I will always treasure this quilt. How about this for a great Sew-Along! Suzy Quilts is hosting the fabulous Modern Fans Sew Along and I simply couldn't resist! There are video's, tutorial's, a Facebook and Instagram group and loads of other great information to make this Sew Along super easy and very achievable. And it's paced to suit the slowest of sewers. I chose the Day Dreaming colour way for my Modern Fans and there are plenty more to choose from on Suzy's blog. I'm into solids at the moment, and I would have loved to complete the quilt in just this way, but I really need to bust my stash! Scroll down for my fabric selection and a few pictures of my blocks so far. It's not too late to join this Sew Along, check out the other colour ways and get inspired! My First Round of Blocks Come back soon for updates and beautiful colourful photos! Get in touch if you have any questions, Julie. This (New Zealand) winter, I have participated in the Summer Sampler 2018—the popular block-of-the-week quilt-along hosted by Katie Blakesley (Swim Bike Quilt), Faith Jones (Fresh Lemons Quilts) and Lee Heinrich (Freshly Pieced)! The series started on May 14, and has just recently come to a close. In true form, I'm a little behind!! This Summer Sampler takes you on a summer adventure, with a new block each week inspired by travel and far-flung places! It was fun to remember places I've visited in the past and a few I love to visit. As usual, I am inspired by the designers and their interpretations of image into quilt block. Details about the quilt-a-long can be found here. It's not too late to make this quilt and there are previous years quilts to choose from as well! The finished quilt measures around 80" x 80".
