My Cut Fabric

One thing you might want to consider before beginning your piecing is what thread color you want to use. I typically piece using 50wt Aurifil 2600 (Dove), which is a very light gray thread. Because the majority of my quilt will be dark blue, I opted to used a medium blue thread that blends very well with the dark and medium fabrics in my quilt top. Piecing using your favorite neutral thread (gray, white, tan, etc.) is a great option, but now would be a great time to consider if you want to use something else for this project.

What’s Next? Upcoming QAL Schedule

Starting today, the quilt along will settle into a 3-week pace with a full month and a half for the final finishing and any catch up.
