Two things on my quilt bucket list have been a flying geese quilt and a black & white quilt. I very rarely just start up a quilt project for no reason, but I was intrigued to see how quickly I could get this project cut out as my first AccuQuilt project. For faster sewing later, pair up your black and white rectangles as you would like them and stack them alternating black and white into one pile. Each rectangle will cut all 3 pieces for the flying geese and we’ll swap them out once it’s all cut with a simple trick.
It comes with all the fabric you need to make the quilt top, along with the binding fabric and the Then Came June pattern called Dusk to Dawn. I’ll be posting my process to keep myself on track and to share any tips I’ve got, if you’d like to follow along and make your own version of the Dusk to Dawn Quilt using the Amalfi Seas Kit or your own fun selection of fabrics. Before diving in, which is so easy to do when you’re excited about a quilt, it’s best to read through the instructions and do a test block. This is so great for quickly trimming out the block, so that you are only moving the mat and not the block.
In Handmade Getaway, we give you all the instruction you need to make your own Double Time Quilt with a two, three or four people. We’re so delighted that many of you have chosen the Double Time Quilt Tools Level. You’ll be getting two copies of Handmade Getaway, the fabulous Pathways Ruler and a stack of ten fat quarters. We had fabric generously donated from Robert Kaufman, Andover Fabrics and Camelot Fabrics to create three different options for you.
We’ve been working on the Handmade Getaway for a couple years now and there are a lot of stories and fun images to share about how we got to where we are now. It didn’t take long for us to look over our years of getaways to start pulling out the best projects, pro-tips and tools. I’m not going to lie, I’ve always wanted to publish a magazine or a book, so I feel very honoured that I’m getting to embark on this wild endeavour with Jacqueline and Andrew Cloutier, our brilliant graphic designer. There are many fun rewards to choose from and we’ve just posted up some new ones, including a class with me to make my Design Notebook Cover from the book!
