Quilt Fabrications FREE Quilt Along

  Quilting has become a very trendy and expensive hobby in the last 10 yrs.  Back when I started quilting it wasn't so expensive to buy fabrics and patterns.   Since 2008 the price of antique quilts has gone down but the price of making a new quilt has gone up.  I don't understand economics but I do know that we quilters need a break!  So when I find a good free pattern I like to toot that quilters horn.  So lets give a big ole TOOT! TOOT! to

Susan over at Quilt Fabrication

She has generously put together the

 Spangled Stars Quilt Along.  

The first block was posted on May 7th,  but there's still time to join in the fun.

There's no pattern or book that you need to purchase in order to participate, its all FREE.  You can choose from several different sizes from a wall hanging to a king size bed.

Click here to view more size options and fabric requirements for each.

The king size is pictured below.

So you aren't really into the patriotic quilts.  Well Susan has thought of that too!  You don't need to be in order to participate.  You can

  find more color options here.  

Of course you can always just live wild and free and create your own colorway.

There's still plenty of time to join. 

The quilt along is in full motion and prizes are being awarded.  Oh yes you heard me right there's prizes for adding your picture progress on the flicker group.

So click here to find the links to the first two blocks and the schedule for the rest.

Enjoy!
