Growing QAL + Mock Ups
UPDATE! Here are links to the FB Live videos from the Growing QAL! In each Live, I share tips for making your Growing quilt and walk you step-by-step through the pattern. If you're feeling intimidated about making this quilt, I highly recommend checking out the videos below!
WEEK 1 (Cutting Out Your Fabric)
WEEK 2 (Making the Blocks: Part 1)
Download the notes from Week 2 HERE
WEEK 3 (Making your Blocks: Part 2)
WEEK 4 (Assembling the Quilt Top)
And if you want to see how my Growing quilt from the QAL turned out, check out my IG post HERE!
A quilt along for Growing starts May 1st!
Grab your copy of the pattern HERE! Save 20% on the pattern until April 10th with the discount code GROWING20.
I'm hosting a super casual QAL for the pattern in a private Facebook Group HERE! On the first day of each week, I'll do a FB Live sharing tips for completing that week's goal. If you're not able to watch it live, no worries! All Lives will be saved to the group to watch at your convenience later!
At the end of the QAL a qualifying participant will be randomly selected to win a $150 gift card to Pear Tree Market! All you have to do to enter is post a pic of your finished Growing quilt top to the FB Group before May 31st. That's it! I'm personally making the throw size during the QAL, but feel free to make whichever size you want!
I highly recommend purchasing a 14 1/2" square ruler for trimming the Growing blocks before the QAL. I used this Creative Grids ruler when making my Growing quilt, but there is a less expensive option from Riley Blake that you could use too.
Now for some Growing quilt inspiration! Below are mock ups of the Growing quilt in Ruby Star Society Speckled prints! I've listed the names of the prints used in each mock up. Recreate the mock ups exactly as shown or use the color combos as a jumping off point for your fabric pull!
