Leading up to Week 1 of the quilt along, you'll need to pick out your fabrics (obviously 😆) and, ideally, get them cut out as well. Check out our blog post HERE for a list of recommended supplies too!

I saw the glue tips for sale with the pattern and I bought them. But I cannot find in the pattern how to use them.
I love this little sparrow pattern! cannot wait to get started!!!!!!! ag
Thank you so much for doing the quilt along! I am currently working on the bed sized version of the Sparrow quilt and I look forward to learning any tips you may share with me!! This is a gorgeous design . I actually love everything you make and I’m excited about making your other quilts as well.
Smiles,

I was wondering if there is a reduced size of the sparrow from this pattern? Saw one with borders around the out side, all alone, and it apperared to be smaler?
I love the Lingerie Kona Solid. It is beautiful in person.
Love this colors where can I purchase the kit to do it
May I ask— are the birds paper pieced? Thanks 🙏
Do you have any mock ups in Art Gallery pure solids, thank you
I have the pattern bought last year. and will finish buying the fabrics . I like the idea of assorted lay outs. That is my problem. Best wishes
I really love all your color combos!
All things birdie!! I’m in. Ordering my pattern now.
Can I buy the required fabrics from you for one of the Sparrow mock ups? I am interested in the last one with the “shale” fabric.
I am excited to participate in your quilt along. I had previously purchased your adorable pattern and just hadn’t gotten to it! This gives me a perfect excuse to jump in and get it done! Thank you!
