Today is the day! I can finally reveal what I’ve been working on for you! It’s a new quilt along with a bunch of giveaways from some great sponsors.
I’ve designed this quilt to use Victorian Modern by Andover Fabrics. This is a brand-spanking new fabric line that actually hits the shelves today!
The quilt looks a lot harder than it really is. No worries. It’s a confident beginner level quilt and I will walk you through every step of the way to create the quilt top. So you will be fine! It will finish 58″ x 76.5″ so it will be a good sized quilt! I will post a new video in the quilt along series every Thursday until we are done with the quilt. So, go out and get your fabrics and supplies and I’ll meet you back here next Thursday to start making our first quilt block.
Watch the video to find out how we are going to get such a large quilt from only 12 blocks! It’s one of my secret weapons for making quilts when you don’t have time to cut out teeny tiny and complex patchwork pieces. I’m a busy mom, what can I say? Gotta cut corners somewhere!
Here is the complete list of fabrics you will need from the Victorian Modern fabric line to create the exact same quilt I will be making and walking you through:
5986-PY: 1/2 yard
5986- B: 1/2 yard
5982-YE: 1/4 yard
5983-Y: 3/4 yard
5987-YE: 1/2 yard
5987-B: 3/4 yard
5981-P: 1/4 yard
5986-YE: 1/4 yard
5983-B: 1/4 yard
5983-G: 1.5 yards (for sashing)
5986-G: 1/2 yard
5981-G: 3/4 yard
5981-B: 3/4 yard
5985-G: 1/4 yard
5982-G: 1/4 yard
5983-P: 1/4 yard
In this first video of the Victorian Modern Quilt Along I share all the details about the quilt design, what we will be doing and how it’s going to work. Thanks to our generous sponsors we are offering up giveaways every week in this quilt along series.

wow! I did you video and went to andover and looked at the “modern” line and it is lush and awesome for spring! please enter me in the giveaway as I am not sure where to comment on it! I have also been using the rulers and love them as they are easy to handle and are not flimsy. Is the fiscars easy to use for lefties? I have to get the cheaper one and they are not setup for safety but I view the world from another angle and sometimes get it all reversed but I at least want to be safe doing it! your site is great and I am not so far away and would like to visit your shop one day.

I am off to buy my material today so I can join this quilt along. I loved the Victorian Modern but I also love the Be Wiched collection.

I can’t pass up a chance to win quilting goodies – my fabric stash is getting low! I explored Andover Fabrics for quite awhile. Today, my favorite collection is Little Lonnie’s because it has a great variety of texture, color, and print sizes. You need all three for a striking quilt. Great idea for a quilt along!
barb
I love the birdsong. It is so pretty, but it was so hard to pick just one, unless of course you picked one of each!!! Lol [email protected]
Hope i entered right??!!?

I prefer LaLa gardents.

I’ve been a subscriber for some time and love your great product reviews and projects!! I’m really impressed with Andover’s wide range and variety of fabrics. Since I’m really into folk ark, one of my favorite lines is Itsy Bits Checklets, which work really well for small quilts. Be especially blessed, Kathy

I think I like the Henley Flowers line but the Victorian Modern fabrics are awfully nice, too! Enjoying your posts and I think you are a great teacher and have a winning video presence and style! I am needing to find a new/better rotary cutter; that one looks like it might be just the ticket!
