One Block Wonder Quilt Along

Thank you to everyone who showed an interest in having a little quilt along after seeing my quilt in the Blogger's Quilt Festival.  The time is finally here!

Here's what you need to know - besides being beginner friendly, this pattern is FUN.

Schedule:

September 26th - welcome post with mini interview with Maxine Rosenthal (one of the authors) 

September 30th - fabric selection tips post
October 3rd -  cutting and piecing tips post

October 10th - quilting tips, another short post

October 17th - Linky opens

October 31st - Linky closes, voting opens

November 7th - prizes awarded!

Materials Needed (affiliate links):

• You gotta get the book, One-Block Wonders , One-Block Wonders Encore!, or One-Block Wonders Cubed!, or One-Block Wonders of the World, FYI there are kindle versions available too. 
• A Creative Grids 60 Degree Triangle , or similar brand **
• Flower Head Pins like these from Dritz
• you will also need a Quilter's Ruler at least 4 inches wide by 24 inches long
• A Rotary Cutter with a FRESH blade!!  I prefer the 60mm for this job, but a 45mm will work too
• Sewing machine, thread, etc.

** The Creative Grids 60 degree ruler has a little notch at the top of the triangle that makes piecing easier.  If you are worried about buying "another ruler" and that it might not get much use after this QAL, don't worry!  There are tons of things you can do with this ruler.  Triangles, diamonds, hexies, oh my!  In fact, I posted a small project tutorial HERE that uses this ruler.  So go check it out.

Prizes:

This is a self-sponsored QAL, so it is mostly just for fun, but I think a couple of prizes should be in order for all your hard work.  Thus, I would like to give away 2 prizes!  One for the crowd favorite (as voted on by you), and one for the "Most Amazing Transformation" of fabric.  I'm going to pick that one based on what the fabric looked like to begin with (whole) and what it looked like after the OBW process.  You will have to have a FINISHED quilt TOP to enter.  Both prizes will be $25 Gift Certificates to the Intrepid Thread (one of my favorite online fabric shops).

I hope you will join us!
