When: The fun starts in February 2021, with block tutorials, linkups, prizes, community, and all the information you need to know to fall in love with hand piecing!
The Pattern
The pattern for the QAL is called Harmony because don’t we all need a little more Harmony in our lives after 2020? It’s perfect for both yardage and is fat quarter friendly.
The Harmony pattern is $10. It is a digital (PDF) pattern that includes:
- All the instructions for each unit, block construction, and final quilt top settings for wall hanging and throw quilt
- Templates for all quilt blocks (and rotary cutting instructions where possible)
- Coloring page
The Schedule
The pattern is available now and the QAL kicks off two weeks later on February 22, and it will run through June.
