Serenity

The story behind this pattern is shared on tweloquilting.blogspot.com.

In this new blog, all the patterns are displayed in different tabs and while that is good for browsing around, it could be hard to find a specific pattern if you know its name.

This is where this post will always help you.

This list will be always here and the links are in alphabetical order.
Each name will be linked directly to the page where you can find the pattern!
(but please be patient for the months of December/January, as I slowly move all the patterns here :) )

Remember: if you have troubles finding what you are looking for (or if you want to ask me for a pattern I don't have) don't hesitate to write me a comment below. I may be able to help!!

Welcome to another teaser post for the fun QAL Play with Me!

Next week the QuiltALong is going to actually begin! I am sooooooo excited!!

But today let's talk about fabric!!

Given the wide variety of techniques and designs, it is impossible for me to give you precise fabric requirements for this quilt!

Each pattern will contain the amount and colors required for each board, together with the fabric for the sashing and the backing (if you want to follow the Quilt-As-You-Go approach, as I will).

However I can give you some general suggestions on fabric choices:

- if you want to use the same fabric as sashing between all the boards, 3 yards should be enough

- if you want to use the same fabric as backing for all the boards, 4.5 yards should be enough

But what about the boards?

This is a tough question :) I think you need to understand what you like.

For example, I want my quilt to be super extra scrappy!

So I will grab whatever I need from my stash, and that's it!

But if you want to have a more coherent look, despite each board having a different number of colors and style, the perfect solution is a Fat Quarter Bundle!

A FQ bundle and a Jelly Roll, would probably be enough to make all your boards.

They will look all different but perfectly coordinated!

Do you want some ideas on fun colorful choices?

How about these?

Concrete Fat Quarter Bundle (Moda Fabrics)	Lord and Lady Downton Abbey 2.5" Strips (Andover Fabrics)
Budgie Banter #1 Fan (Essential Gems)	Basic Mixologie, Studio M (Moda Fabrics)

Aren't those super yummy fabric? I like prints, but there is a great selection of solids where they come from, which is the great Fat Quarter Shop!

www.FatQuarterShop.com

They are going to sponsor the Play with Me QAL!!!!
Isn't this exciting??!?!?! We are going to have giveaways for people that participate, so that's another reason to join the fun!! More details on this next month!

Next week I will share the first pattern!

Make sure to subscribe to the email updates, if you want to receive it right in your inbox!!

Until then,

Happy Stitching!!

Remember: all the details about the series are collected in the QAL web page.

Oooooops :)

I realized there was a mistake in the QAL planner!

January and February were correct, but all the dates for other months were wrong.

I must have looked at the wrong year LOL :/

Oh, well, I fixed it now! Sorry about that!

Please download the correct version of the planner here

The patterns and instructions will be shared on MONDAYS, with the main pattern shared on the first Monday of the month. In case I made mistakes again, well, now you know that the idea is simple :)

Remember that you will have to share a picture of the finished block by 11:59pm (est) the Sunday before the post goes live in order to get the next pattern for free.

I will send reminders via email and in the FB group.

Happy Stitching!!

All the details about the series are collected in the QAL web page.

Welcome the second reveal post for the fun QAL Play with Me!

This is a wonderful Skill Builder, because every month I will be featuring a different technique and we will have step by step instructions to walk you through the entire process, from cut to finishing!

If you missed last week post (with the reveal of the final project and a useful QAL planner) visit the Play with Me QAL page! You will find all the details there!

I recommend you to subscribe to the QAL announcements via email, so you don't miss out on future posts! You find the subscription form on the same QAL page.

Now let's get down to some details.

RULES: yes, I know, these are the least fun part of the QAL, but we need rules, so please read them carefully! If you have questions you can always comment on a post and if you leave your contact I will get back to you with an answer!! :)

I will share one block/pattern a month for 9 months.
Each pattern will be shared for free to people that follow along: this means that if you don't make the pattern for the current month, you won't receive next month pattern for free.
All patterns will be available for sale in my shop for a small fee.
Late comers are welcome, but they will have to purchase any patterns they have missed. Late comers will have to email me for the current month pattern (it will be shared for free). Please do not distribute my patterns without written consent.
Each block/pattern will feature a different technique (bargello, foundation paper piecing, english paper piecing, applique, reverse applique, ...) and the patterns come with step by step tutorials on how to make the finished block. Each pattern offers 3 different finishing options: a picnic size quilt (connecting all the boards together at the end of the QAL), a simple placemat or a roll-up travel set (with zipper pouch to hold game pieces or tableware).
each week I will share tips and ideas on how to quilt each block, how to make the game pieces and other fun things connected to the game of the month (these will be shared here on this blog and will remain free forever).

So, the main rule for the QAL is that you need to share the board block before the next month pattern is released. It should be shared by 11:59 pm EST the day before the next month patterns goes live (for the specific dates, please refer to the QAL planner shared in the previous post).

Note that you won't have to complete the sashing or the travel set: just the board game should be finished, so it's not that hard to follow along!

But where can you share your wonderful and inspiring blocks?

A picture of the completed block can be shared in any of the following places:

(preferred) I host a link party here! I have a blog post dedicated to the link party with instructions on how link either blog posts, FB pictures or Instagram pictures!
send me a picture directly via email (my email is in all my patterns)
post a picture in the AlidaTweloqDesigns FB group
post a picture in the FlickR group

** VERY IMPORTANT **

If you only post your block on our FB group or on Flickr, you NEED to send me an email notification about the submission, because I need your email address to send you the next month pattern. While I can get that information automatically from the link party, I cannot have that from FB or Flickr. It is YOUR responsibility to reach out to me, as I cannot hunt down your email address.

** EXTREMELY IMPORTANT **

I am only human! :)

At any point during the QAL, if you feel that you should have got the pattern but I didn't send it to you, just send me an email and remind me where you shared your block. I will do my best to keep track of who is sharing what, but I am only human, so please be patient!

So are you excited about this QAL?

I surely am!! Grab my button and share the love! The more people join in, the more fun it will be!!

Next week I will share more details about fabric requirements.

Until then,

Happy Stitching!!

Let's have a party... a linky party!

This post is where the party will be hosted for the entire 2016.

If you know how to link up your block, just scroll down and do that! :)

If this is the first time linking up a picture, you may want to read a tutorial about that. A good one is the one Bonnie Hunter wrote HERE.

If you are adding a Pinterest, Instagram, FlickR photo, just follow the appropriate tutorial

I couldn't find a tutorial for Facebook, but it could be similar (I am not sure though).

Link the specific post/picture (with specific URL) and not your main blog or your main account!

Your blog, Flickr, Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook photo must be visible to ALL.

If he posts are private you cannot link up.

In this link party only blocks from the "Play with Me QAL" series should be added.

I reserve the right to delete any link not following the rules without any notice.

This link party will be open all year long so you will be able to add your projects at any time!

Make sure to visit some of the links and cheer along!

It's much more fun this way!!

Happy Stitching!!

Remember: all the details about the series are collected in the QAL web page.

Welcome to the big reveal of the project we are going to be working on for the first 9 months of 2016!

Click here to download PDF version of this document.

Each month will feature a different board game, but all the boards will have the same size so it will be easy to rearrange them in a different quilt layout, if you feel like it!

Each board can also be finished as a separate place mat or a roll up travel set with a zipper pouch to hold the game pieces or tableware!

This is a great gift idea for yourself, your kids, your nephews or your grandkids!

How much fun time could everyone have playing these classic games??

And remember: this is just a 9 months project... if you follow along you will have a Xmas present ready way before the holidays :)

And do you want to know when each game will be revealed?

Download this handy QAL planner with all the dates and some spaces for you to take notes of your progress.

Next week I will share more details about the linky, groups and other fun places to cheer each other along and inspire one another.

Until then,

Happy Stitching!!
