Now, to keep this quilty, Gudrun @ GE Quilt Designs had a FREE quilt along last Saturday, June 26, 2021. Gudrun has perfected the art of hosting a QAL, having hosted SEVEN since the pandemic hit in March, 2020!!! I've thoroughly enjoyed participating in all seven of them! 

If you missed it last Saturday, you can still catch Gudrun's vids and all info about the QAL at her blog, here. Here's the progression of my quilt through the online sessions/classes Gudrun had. I used Japanese fabrics, bought in Tokyo and Sendai, Japan, in a very scrappy mix!

Here are four of my blocks after the first instructions: ⤵️

At this point, we started the slicing, shuffling and squaring up!! ⤵️

My first twelve blocks, done by the end of the last session!!! ⤵️

I did some more piecing later in the evening and the next day, until I had my quilt top with border together!!! ⤵️

The quilting will come at a later date, as I have some other quilts that need attention!

To those of you who follow by email, thank you so much! 

Tell me in the comments below if you're participating in any QALs!!!

Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy
