Two Blossoms QAL Information

I’m excited to announce my first ever quilt-a-long (QAL). I know there are a bunch of you who have my book, and maybe the kit to go with it, but haven’t yet plucked up the courage to give the process a go, so I thought maybe we could do that together?

Two Blossoms is the pattern featured in my book ‘pieced’. It was designed to be an introduction to my process for creating beautiful quilts with piecework. It’s a small piece which looks stunning framed, or could also be turned into a cushion if you wish.

START DATE: 29th March

DURATION: 6 weeks

QUILT SIZE: 50cm by 50cm
