- 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
