Here is an expert from Scott at Blue Nickel Studios explaining the Quiltalong:
Now lest we offend some of you along the way with our reference to a Bar Hop, let us all remember that Bars come in all varieties. Tavern/Pub bars, yes, but also: Candy Bars, Snack Bars, Breakfast Bars, Sand Bars, Tea Bars (okay, that would be a Tea House, I know…..) Ice Cream Bars, Behind Bars, etc. So pick YOUR favorite Bar and Hop along with us!
The fabric we are featuring has been generously supplied by Clothworks from their European Taupe VIII collection by Kinkame. Soft, subtle, and maybe just a little more “traditional” in tone. We have fourteen bloggers with styles ranging from very modern to the somewhat more traditional side of the quilting street. We believe the “wall” that sometimes comes up between quilters on those lines should be torn down, so that is part of why the collection has been chosen. If you choose to make your blocks out totally modern or totally traditional, they will work just fine. We love to see the variety of blocks that emerge from these quiltalongs!
Each designer was given four fat quarters from the collection and told they could add one solid and one print of their choice OR two solids and that was it. The other requirement was that they had to use at least one rectangle (bar) in the block somewhere. The blocks will all finish to a useful 12” x 12” size. Feel free to post your blocks here as you hop along with us!
