Keep in mind that your runner won’t be as scrappy as mine unless you follow the option for making both the runner and wall quilt OR the option using the strips. If you are making the quilt and the runner, you will need a total of 32 – 10” squares. You could also use 10 – 5” xġ0” rectangles or 19 – 1 ½”-3” x 10” strips.īinding: ⅓ yard or ½ yard if cutting on the bias I used my leftovers from this quilt to make the runner that I shared last week.įabric Requirements for the projects are: The Wall Quilt: Colored Prints: 27 – 10″ squares for the trees, house, borders and stars Background: 1 ¾ yards Brown: ¼ yard for tree trunks Binding: ½ yard Backing and Batting: 50″ x 57″ A fusible product and thread for the applique is also requiredĬolored Prints: A minimum of 5 – 10” squares for the trees. I also changed up the border on this one by adding the checkerboard, instead of the scrappy strips. I threw in a couple plaids and chevrons, just to add some fun texture. The last big quilt is done with a lot of Christmas prints that were designed by Kate Spain. The second option features Holly’s Tree Farm by Sweetwater, also for Moda fabrics. The original quilt is made using Evergreen by Basic Grey for Moda fabrics. I will give all of us until next Tuesday to get this done and then I will share some hints on cutting. After you have looked at the quilts, then you can raid your stash or visit your favorite quilt shop and put together your fabrics. I have made 3 of the large quilt that I can share with you.

Every week I will post a little more info so you will have something to work on over the next week/weekend. Click here to read the first post about the QAL. Our Project is the “Let It Snow quilt and/or runner from my Angles With Ease 2 book. I heard from many of you, that a QAL is just the thing to get you motivated and back into the sewing room! The Quilt Along is definitely a go! Thanks to everyone who is joining in. We had a good time, got good and wet, then ventured back in to see if I got my shot. There was also lots of snacking on the snow. He just kept putting his arms out to catch it, eyes wide with wonder. It the first snow of the year that had arrived on a day when we could go out and play. It wasn’t long before the boys realized that it was snowing outside – Big, giant flakes. I don’t think I’ve shared any of them yet, but it is a fun memory for me. I snapped them when I was working on our Christmas card. On a lighter note, I have a few pictures to share of my boys. Now I will just say I’m sorry and go eat some humble pie. You can download the new instructions here. The sizes are all right, etc – you will just need to cut a little more of two items. And I forgot one Reverse, so that changes one number in the directions too.įor those of you who have already cut according to the directions that I sent out, you didn’t cut anything wrong. I forgot one cutting step, which then changes the fabric requirements and cutting instructions. With this runner, I thought – the book has been out for 9 months with no errors, so just a little change by making it a runner should be fine. It’s always such a relief, because editing is such a huge job and my brain isn’t what it used to be! I am a big believer in testing (and by testing, I mean paying someone to actually make the quilt) and then lots of editing afterwards. In fact, I do take some pride in the error free run of books and patterns that we have been putting out. Errors in books and patterns are not something that I take lightly. I laid awake being upset with myself for making a mistake on something so simple, and thinking about how I had to tell all of you about my screw up. I realized that I made a mistake in the information that I sent out for the QAL runner.
