Double Time Quilt Along Week 1
Your Week 1 Checklist
Here are the steps to help you get started and make the most of Week 1:
- Make sure you have your PDF pattern or a copy of the Handmade Getaway book: This will be your guide for each step of the Quilt Along.
- Gather your fabric: Choose your fabrics and set them aside, ready for cutting and stitching.
- Organize your quilting tools and supplies: Find and organize your tools (rotary cutter, quilting rulers, Flatter) so they’re all within reach.
Week 1 Milestone: Post a photo of your fabric choices to Instagram. By sharing, you’ll automatically be entered to win a Week 1 prize! Not only will it be fun to see everyone’s fabric picks, but it’s also a great way to kick off connections with your fellow quilters. Don't forget to use the hashtag #DoubleTimeQAL
Karyn will be hosting another Zoom meeting on Sunday morning 9am EST. to review week 2. She'll talk about preparing your template, using the ruler and demo doing a test block. We'll post the link in the Week 2 email on Friday! Sign-Up to get on the list!
