Welcome Wreath Quilt Along

The countdown to holiday sewing starts now!

You are cordially invited to join me for the ultimate holiday sewing project!
Next week, we are kicking off the Welcome Wreath QAL
to make the most festive Christmas version together.

Of course, you're welcome to use whatever color palette you'd like

but I just love holiday sewing during the holidays! 

Welcome Wreath comes with instructions
for 3 quilt sizes – lap, throw, and full.
For the quilt along, I'll be making
the full-size quilt that finishes at 82 ½” x 82 ½”.

You are welcome to make whichever size you'd like!

You can get the paper pattern HERE.
Or the PDF pattern HERE.

Last year I purchased a bunch of red, pink, brown, cream, and green
(mostly) Tilda fabrics for this quilt, and I’m so excited to finally make it!

Here is the original version:

And here is a two-color version I made in 2024.

Click HERE for all the details (including fabric requirements) for the two-color version.

Like I said, it's really cute in any colorway and I can't wait

to see what versions you guys come up with!

For the multi-colored (original version), the fabric requirements are as follows.

The quilt along will start on Monday, October 19th, 2026
and last for 11 weeks.  The weekly assignments
will be posted on Instagram every Monday.

Here's the schedule:

Week 1: October 19th - cutting

Week 4: November 9th - make Flying Geese units

 Please note: I know it’s a busy time of year for a quilt along but this

will be low-key and we’ll just do the best we can!  I just think it will be so fun to work on

this over the holidays and didn't want to put it off another year.  If you or I get behind, it's okay!

To participate, you can do one of the following things:

1. Print off the schedule and follow along privately.
