3 Quilts in 3 Hours Quilt-Along!

Three Quilts in Three Hours?!  You've got to be mad!

Join me for a 3 Quilts in 3 Hours Quilt-Along!
3 Saturdays in March: 3/1, 3/8 and 3/22 
3:00-5:00 EST
This is going to be so much fun!!

Sometimes you want to make a really beautiful quilt, really fast. It could be for a personal gift, or for a charity project, or even disaster relief. Whatever your reason, together we'll make three beautiful quilt tops in just three hours.

Each quilt is 58” x 80” and all three are made from 9 yards of border print, striped or gradation fabric. (You can also start with a strip set of fabric that you make yourself - more about that later.) Two of the quilts are large, single box blocks, and the third quilt is all stripes (take a look at the photos - these quilts were made from a WILD African stripe fabric). Each quilt requires a maximum of 5 seams to make, 12 seams total for all three quilt tops!

This is an excellent project for quilters of all skill levels -- even total beginners -- and it's perfect for a group project.

The LIVE quiltalong will be Saturday, March 1, Saturday, March 8 and Saturday March 22. The Zoom meetings are recorded and will be available for Quiltalong members to watch after the live session.

There will be PRIZES during each session, and at the end a BIG SURPRISE for anyone who finishes their quilts - I know you'll be super excited when you learn what it is!
