Leaf Peepers Week #1

Are you ready to go Leaf Peeping with me? The Leaf Peepers Quilt Along begins today and both Sheri and I have shared quilting tutorials to help you get started on the right foot!

Click Here to find Sheri’s tutorial on cutting and organizing your fabrics.

What do you need to join the Leaf Peepers Quilt Along? You just need to pick up the quilt pattern available here!

It might not look like it from a distance, but there are a LOT of little pieces in the Leaf Peepers Quilt. Make sure to watch Sheri’s video to find lots of tips on keeping your colors straight and all the pieces organized.

Trust me, once we actually start piecing, the labels for each unit come in really handy so I highly recommend following Sheri’s tips.

I also shared a video on preparing your fabric which can also come in really handy. If you want your seams to match and to feel in control over the fabric, I strongly advise following these steps to prewash, starch and press your fabrics.

So you have one more week to prepare your fabric, cut out the pieces, get them organized, and practice some piecing!

Next week we begin piecing Block #1 and I can’t wait to teach you how to piece half square triangles.
