Ready for a quick & easy quilt along? I am! Let me share with you my thoughts about this little quilt, first of all the inspiration for the quilt came from a pair of socks, probably from the Gap. Secondly I am going to make this into a large quilt, but I wanted to test it on a small scale...a good place to work out all the kinks.
The colors given for each quilt will be from Kona Cotton Solids, feel free to substitute with other fabrics or colors if you like.
Quilt Size: 34 x 36
Level of Difficulty: Anyone & everyone can create this quilt
I hope you will join me in making one of these colorful quilts - or make more than one if you like. The project will be quick & fun...something pressure free!
My dear Lizzy is creating a Quilt Along button for us, and I'll set up a Flickr group for these little beauties.
I will get the fabric lists created this weekend for the following colors:
- Pink
- Brown
- Gray
- Orange
Start date: February 1st
Leave a comment if you would like to participate...I hope you will join along!
xoxo,
Cherri

Yahoo! A quilt along with you is like a dream come true!!!! I love the orange one. It reminds me that summer will come, at some point. Thank you for allowing us to quilt along with you.

This will be my first quilt along. Thank you so much for putting this together.
Posted by: patricia | January 20, 2011 at 02:55 PM
Please count me in. I'd love to make another quilt of yours, working on one as we speak.
Posted by: Jen | January 20, 2011 at 03:33 PM
I think I'll give this one a go... look forward to seeing the fabric reqs.
Posted by: Kerri Kowal | January 20, 2011 at 03:36 PM
I've never ventured into quilt-a-long land, but I think that I'm ready for the challenge!
Posted by: barbara | January 20, 2011 at 03:37 PM
ME, ME, ME!
Trying to USE up fabric I have on hand and I'd like to do something new. I have a stash of solids here somewhere.
Posted by: CJ | January 20, 2011 at 03:58 PM
Yes please :) I need to work with solids more and this is perfect!! thanks Cherri!
Posted by: shellie | January 20, 2011 at 04:16 PM
That would be awesome... the grey looks great but I might do blue and green since I already have those here.
Posted by: Jewel | January 20, 2011 at 04:40 PM
ooh I'm in! I need a baby quilt for a friend :)
Posted by: Brenda | January 20, 2011 at 04:45 PM

Posted by: Katie B | January 20, 2011 at 04:53 PM
Count me in, love the solids
Posted by: Eileen Gianiodis | January 20, 2011 at 04:59 PM
I can't wait!
Posted by: Linda Smith | January 20, 2011 at 05:51 PM
Here I am with a whole bunch of solids just waiting for this good idea. *S*
Have to decide what color.
Posted by: Sequana | January 20, 2011 at 05:51 PM
I'm in too .. I'm liking the brown and orange, but may change my mind.
Posted by: Pam | January 20, 2011 at 06:01 PM
Quick & fun? Can't argue with that!
Posted by: Funky's Mama | January 20, 2011 at 06:16 PM
This appeals to me.
Posted by: Denise Miller | January 20, 2011 at 07:07 PM
I'll try too! The choice is whether I'll be selfish and make a gray for myself or generous and do a pink for a friend's baby. We'll see...
Posted by: Abby | January 20, 2011 at 07:41 PM
I think I'll try - fair warning, this is my first quilt! I figure it's practice for either City Lights or City Tracks - I don't know which.
Posted by: Barb M | January 20, 2011 at 07:59 PM
yes, this will be fun, I would love to be part of this.
Posted by: Mary Jo | January 20, 2011 at 08:22 PM
I'm in but I may use different colors.
Posted by: Mama Spark | January 20, 2011 at 08:57 PM
Really? Anyone and everyone can create this quilt? Even me?? I don't know. I want to join in, but I'm going to wait until I see the first step. I'm happy that you are doing this, though, and I"ll do my best to join in!
Posted by: Jenean | January 20, 2011 at 09:33 PM
Looks fun! I'm in!

Making one of your quilts is one of my goals this year, so this would be a good place to start. Can't wait!

Posted by: Darlene | January 21, 2011 at 08:56 AM
I have never participated in a quiltalong before but......I am in. Hopefully, you will be gentle on this newbie to quiltalongs and quilts (I have only ever made two tops).
Posted by: linda | January 21, 2011 at 09:04 AM
I'm not quite sure what a quilt along is but I would love to try it. Sounds like fun!
Posted by: Ann | January 21, 2011 at 09:14 AM
Love this. I'm redoing my bedroom and this may just be perfect.
Posted by: Shannon | January 21, 2011 at 10:16 AM
We've got a new little one coming to the family and how perfect would one of these be! Love them, count me in!
Posted by: Julie Swenson | January 21, 2011 at 11:33 AM

Posted by: Pam | January 21, 2011 at 02:18 PM
This looks like too much fun! Not much of an orange fan so I'm thinking teal/turquoise maybe.
Posted by: Barb Brainard | January 21, 2011 at 04:37 PM
I really like the design. So cross my fingers I can do this. Yeah!!
Posted by: Annie | January 21, 2011 at 04:41 PM
