Elate Quilt Along Week 1

August 20, 2026 by carolyn friedlander 12 Comments

Elate Quilt Along Week 1

We made it, we are here and ready to start the Elate Quilt Along! This week I have a video where I talk about four versions of Elate that I’ve made so far, fabric, my inspiration going into the quilt along, and I answer some questions from you! Here’s a look.

Pattern Update

In the video, I mention a pattern correction regarding the Extra-Large size. I’m so sorry this was missed. Here’s the update.

Take note that this impacts only the Extra-Large size. The actual sizes to cut are correct, it’s just that some of the quantities needed correcting. If you purchased the digital version of the pattern, you can just re-download the latest version for the update!

Garden Elate

In this week’s video, I share this newest version of Elate that I made for some family that got married. I love how it turned out. What do you think?

It’s always windy when you have to photograph quilts, but I kinda like the drama of it billowing about.

I’ll see you next week!

    Already bought the pattern, pulling from my CF stash tomorrow, and a FQ bundle of Memento arriving Monday. Oh happy days!

    LOVING the wedding quilt. It is sophisticated and soothing! The limited color palette creates a surprising amount of movement.

    Carolyn, I can’t get over how generous and kind you are. You stayed with me when I was having difficulty downloading the pattern and it really helped! I have been using your fabrics and patterns for about 9 years and they bring great joy.
    Thank you so much! I’m very excited about the QAL and look forward to future episodes. Warmly, Becky Crandell
