Christine's Kitchen QAL {STARTS MONDAY!}

Just popping in during a flurry of secret sewing and project planning to remind you that MONDAY starts our Christine's Kitchen QAL! 

Update: The QAL Is now over and the entire pattern is now available for purchase.


We are also working on having some super amazing giveaways for QAL participants! Rather than doing a weekly progress link up, we'll be doing a link up after we finish each row as well as at the end. That's four giveaways for you to win HBD patterns, fabric, and whatever else we might be able to get our paws on.

As always (and unlike a lot of other QALs), it is F-R-E-E to participate in this quilt along. Once the QAL is over, you'll have to pay to get the pattern, so even if you're unsure about keeping up with the QAL, collect the free patterns each week and save them! We don't judge. :)

As a reminder, here's the fabric and supply requirements:

Background: 2 yards
Various prints for piecing: 1 1/4-1 1/2 yards total (about 1/3 yard of this is for your border)
      Add extra if you like extra wiggle room for your paper piecing!
Binding: 1/3 yard
Backing and batting: 1 1/4 yard
Fusible web pieces

Here's our tentative schedule:

March 20th: Blocks 1 and 2; sashing
March 27th: Blocks 3 and 4; sashing
April 3rd: Block 5; sashing 
April 10th: Blocks 6 and 7; sashing
April 17th: Blocks 8 and 9; sashing
