If you haven’t figured it out yet…
“I am a quilt along addict.” Yes, I’m finally admitting it – writing the sentence to you all. I LOVE quilt alongs. I’ll admit – I”m not the hugest fan of sampler quilts but I DO love making a sampler quilt ‘look cool’ or ‘modern’. And I DO love learning so many different techniques without having to commit to a huge quilt to do so. (ie…in last years Craftsy BOM we learned how to do Drunkard Path blocks…I will NEVER do that again…but I did fall in love with Hexagons which I never would have imagined…).
Anyway, I’ve fallen in with the trend (which is also something I try to avoid)…I’m Tripping Along with the #scrappytripalong.
I had been seeing the blocks on instagram…I’d been seeing them on twitter. I thought…hey, I’ll just make one…see what all the hype is about.
which then turned into two…
into 12…
and today…I’m at 16 #scrappytripalong blocks. I’m not sure how many my ‘end goal’ is but I am really loving this! I had a sew day with some ladies in my town last weekend and I shared my #scrappytripalong knowledge with them. I’m pretty sure I have at least 2 new recruits…if not 4 our 5.
Did you trip along with everyone? Please share you links below! I want to see them!
Do you want to trip along with the quilting world too?
