Modern Plus Sampler Quilt Along

The Modern Plus Sampler Quilt Along gets underway on July 5th!   

I am thrilled to be joining with my Modern Plus Sign Quilt's co-author, Cheryl Brickey, of Meadow Mist Designs to host the Modern Plus Sampler Quilt Along!

1. About the Quilt Along

The Modern Plus Sampler quilt along will start July 2018 and run until April 2019.

The pattern is suitable for the confident beginner and will be mostly traditionally pieced but will include some optional applique and paper piecing.

You will need the book, Modern Plus Sign Quilts, in order to quilt along with us as the Modern Plus Sampler includes many design elements from the book all incorporated in to one Modern Plus Sampler.

Modern Plus Sign Quilts can be obtained through the following (Amazon is an affiliate link):

• A signed copy from Quilted Blooms Etsy Shop
• Amazon - print and digital Kindle versions
• C&T Publishing - print and eBook versions
• Indigo - Paperback and eBook versions
• Ask you local quilt shop for Modern Plus Sign Quilts

2. Design Reveal

The design was revealed on June 7th in this blog post.  I made my test version for Tula Pink fabrics plus a few others.
