Is there a Flickr group?

Yes, we now have a Flickr group set up to share pictures of your block, ask questions, and discuss your progress with fellow quilt-alongers.  Please come join us!

When will the quilt-along begin? 

The quilt-along is currently scheduled to begin on Monday, January 24th.


What fabric will we be using?

The bloggers will be showcasing the blocks using the "Sunkissed" line by Sweetwater for Moda.  Of course, you are free to use any fabric that you'd like for your quilt. 


How much fabric will we need?


We are still working through final fabric requirements, but if you'd like to get a jump start on your fabric purchase, I would recommend a fat eighth bundle of the line (available at the Fat Quarter Shop here.)

You may have some fabric left over, but it will be a great stash enhancer!

You will also need to purchase some cuts of the Moda Bella solids that we will be using in our blocks:
A half yard of each (minimum cut for online ordering) will more than suffice.

We will post final fabric requirements (including fabric needed for layout and backing) as soon as it becomes available.
