You guys! I’m so thrilled to be releasing my Atmosphere quilt pattern on April 8! AND I’ll be running this pattern as a 6-week quilt-along beginning on April 22!I hope you’ll all join me in the quilt-along – we could all use a fun project with some online community right now, don’t you think?
Since I know you all might need a little extra time to get your fabric together, I’ve got lots of resources that you can download right now to help you get ready for the QA! Just sign up for the QA right now using this form. (It’s totally free and there’s no obligation!) When you sign up, you’ll receive a free PDF with fabric requirements, a quilt coloring page, tips for choosing your fabric, and lots of other fun planning tools.
PLUS, if you sign up, you’ll be entered for a chance to win a Ruby Star Society prize pack, including a FQ bundle of the Stellar fabric collection, and THREE free PDF patterns of your choice from me! Sign up here!
I’m also posting a few more details about the quilt below. YES, it works with my Perfect Flying Geese templates and Perfect HST templates, but NO, you don’t have to use those—you can also make this quilt using traditional methods. Instructions are included for both methods. For those who do want to use my Perfect Piecing templates and don’t already have them, I’ll be offering a special discount if you buy all three at the same time.
The Atmosphere pattern will have instructions for two colorways: The Rainbow Colorway and the Minimalist Colorway (three colors plus background). You can purchase fabric kits for BOTH colorways from Sewtopia – click here to purchase. The kits are currently available for pre-order and will ship on April 9 (so you’ll get yours in plenty of time for the start of the QA).
