Just a few reminders today!! We have been seeing so many beautiful blocks!! I am very happy to see that you are all enjoying this event!!

If you didn't hear about the QAL before, please visit the Growing up QAL page! 
Visit the QAL page to find all information about the quilt layout, all the future blocks and the rules to participate.
I recommend you to subscribe to the QAL announcements via email, so you don't miss out on future posts! You find the subscription Google form on the same QAL page (at the end of the page).

Now let's get down to some details.

This month technique is New York Style piecing
(Foundation Paper Piecing+Curved Piecing)

Remember that the pattern for the block is shared for free via email to the people that shared a picture of last month finished block in the linky party.
If you did that, you should already have the pattern!

If you didn't (and you think you should have) just send me an email at tweloq(at)gmail(dot)com and I will get the pattern out to you.

For the full list of rules and explanation on how/where to share your projects, please refer to the post listing all the QAL rules!

And if you need an extra incentive, we are going to have 
FIVE WINNERS FOR THE FINAL GIVEAWAY FOR THE ENTIRE QAL EVENT. 
The prizes for this month are listed in a previous post! 
I will draw the random winners ON DECEMBER 11th, 7 am EST. 
ALL the entries since the beginning of the QAL will count in this drawing, not just the ones in the last month!! You have several ways to get extra entries for this final month: 
  • AS USUAL... each picture/entry depicting the completed block(s) for this month will count as an entry 
  • ONE PICTURE, showing ALL the blocks you created this year will count as an extra entry. They don't need to be stitched together or have sashing... just be in the same picture will count! Note: if you have troubles uploading that entry in the linky, just email me the picture at tweloq(at)gmail(dot)com and I will link it for you 
  • Any block of the QAL that you didn't share before will count as an extra entry. So if you were late completing the second block of a past month, just upload it now

  • Some Pinterest Bargello eye candies
  • Video by Colleen, Fons & Porter, "Fire and Ice"
  • free software: Bargello Sketcher
    The free software (available for Windows) allows you to create Bargello curves simply by sketching them with the mouse, edit your curves by re-sketching the part you want to change. You can create Bargello designs ith or without reflection symmetry, you can create matched-seam or staggered-seam designs and specify the minimum width of Bargello strips to include in your design. The software will give you the design, detailed instructions on pieces counts and pieces positioning. It can be tricky to use at the beginning, as the curves sometimes look weird, but you can easily edit them with few clicks, so it's a great resource!!

This month technique is Traditional Piecing
with a focus on Half Square Triangles (HST)

** NOTE **
There was a mistake in the pattern: in the Lady of the Lake block, I wrote to cut 20 squares of each colors, but you actually only need 10 squares of each color (20 squares total) to make the 20 HST that are required for one block. Sorry about the mistake, but at least you have some extra that you can use for another block to get an extra entry in the giveaway if you want ;)
