Welcome to our Gypsy Queen Quilt Along – our very first Cora’s Quilts Mystery project! We’ll be sewing together from August 2015 – November 2015, with a new set of directions posted here on our blog every Friday. Our last post will be right after Thanksgiving, so you will be able to finish your quilt in time for the holidays. Our quilt finishes at 67″ x 67″ lap-sized quilt, but we’ve also included instructions for a 98″ x 98″ queen-size as well.
Each Friday, we’ll share photos of our blocks plus a downloadable .pdf pattern sheet with the week’s instructions. You will need a {free} copy of Adobe Reader to open the file. During the QAL, you can access previous posts from our Quilt Along Home Page, or contact us here to request to receive links to the weekly posts by email.
For those of you just joining us, you can catch up on our previous posts here. We have a light workload this week – 12 seams, actually! Hopefully you can take the time to catch up a bit if you need to … or play around with the blocks you’ve made so far to see if you can figure out where we’re heading!
I’m calling this week’s block the “Mosaic Peek” … that’s PEEK not peak … he he he!
From The Oatmeal
This week’s block might be a little weird to some of you … but have faith! If you can’t get over the odd-ness, maybe wait a few weeks to put your block together and re-visit. It will all work out in the end. 🙂 See you next week!
A Few Announcements:
-
Is it too Late to Join?
Absolutely not! You can catch up at any time, but remember: the free instructions will only be available through December. After that, a pattern written in the traditional, non-mysterious format will be available for purchase in our pattern shop.
