Jen is a fellow Island Batik Ambassador and designs beautiful patterns, including this one! She was lovely enough to sponsor a giveaway as part of our Blocked Rainbow QAL this spring and I jumped at the chance to play along with her Border Quilt QAL, which starts in September!

The fun part about this quilt pattern is that it is written so that you can make your quilt as small or as large as you'd like!
For me, I'm going to be making a scrappy version of the quilt. I pulled an older fat quarter (the paisley print) from my stash and pulled other fabric from my scrap bins to coordinate. My background fabric is Kona Champagne.
My plan is to make the quilt as big as my scraps allow, which I am estimating will carry me through the sawtooth stars. I'm also planning to do the pieced center.
Looking at my current fabric pull, I might need to add in a few more dark pieces, but I'm sure if I dig deeper in my stash I'll find options.
Additionally, Jen will be having interviews with some of us bloggers that are participating in the QAL throughout the month of August. Keep your eyes peeled for those!
Come join me!
What a pretty quilt! I'm going to enjoy watching your grow!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely tempting! Since I'm passing on the Plus Sampler with Cheryl, maybe I can sub this one in? It would be really nice way to use up some scraps.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you're doing this quilt along! I like your fabric pull.
