Are you ready for a Quilt Along? I am, and this time I thought it’d be fun to focus on two of my patterns. Here’s a look at what I’m thinking and the Alphabet and Shirts Quilt Along Schedule.
Why Two Patterns?
I like the idea of this Quilt Along having two options, because there are two projects that I’m interested in. Plus, variety is the spice of life! It is almost May, which means Me Made May. My CF Shirts of Shirts challenge from last year ended up being such a blast that I want to do it again, but with the invitation that you join me.
As for Alphabet, it’s my newest pattern, and it hasn’t gotten a Quilt Along yet, so why not? If you are stoked about Alphabet, let’s go for it! Plus, I need to finish this quilt up, and a Quilt Along will be just the motivation I need.
Do I have to make both patterns?
No, you do not have to make both patterns. You are welcome to make either or both–that’s up to you! I’ll be making both, and I’ll share more specific plans in the first post of the series. You can move in any direction that you feel creatively compelled. It’s my hope to inspire and support you through it. There’s nothing like being in it together, am I right?

By the way, love that “liberty” shirt. So, is it liberty, name of liberty, name of pattern etc…and apologize if you’ve been asked this a million times. It turned out super well. 🙂 👚 I’ve placed a copyright on my great jokes © 😂 Best as always.
