Arcadia Avenue Quilt Along
Hello Everyone! We are planning an Arcadia Avenue Quilt Along for 2015. We had so much fun making the first few quilts, we both wanted to make another one! So, we are going to sew along with you =] We would love to have the quilts done by Christmas 2016, so we are going to make 2 blocks a month starting in February. But feel free to go at your own pace and join in whenever you would like!
Here is the schedule we are going to try to stick to:
We will share with you our personal fabric selections for the upcoming quilts on the 5th and give some tips for choosing fabrics. Every two weeks we will be showing you our blocks and a few creative ways to make the block your own! There will be a link up on the post and an on going Flickr page to add your photos to. We will have a small giveaway with each step open to anyone participating!
I even made a little button! Go ahead and grab one from the sidebar for your blog =]
This is our first QAL, so please let us know if we are missing something! Thank you for stopping by and we look forward to sewing along with you in 2015 =]

I’m planning to join your BOM. Love the bright colors! Now what I can’t find is the amount of each fabric I should get. Do you have any idea of how much we should get?

Oh my gosh I am SO VERY EXCITED. These blocks are fantastic and thanks for sharing with us your techniques and colour choices. This type of paper piecing has been on my to-do-list for ages and ages. I have dedicated this year TO ME! I will most definitely be joining you all.

I’m doing BOM and having trouble sewing the center points together. Pattern does not give pressing guide. The center will not lay flat. Looks like a big hat. I need some help with that. Not happy
Juneblue said:
Like the first comment I am having trouble matching the centres. I have worked on it for 2 days and finally got it more or less acceptable. It is very difficult. At first I pressed my seams open but eventually found that to press the dark seams to the opposite direction from the light seams. Then I matched the centre and machine tacked it before finally adjusting and machining it firmly. I still have a slight convex shape on the right side but am hoping I can cope with that when quilting the block. Any suggestions or help would be very much appreciated.

I am having a fun time with this project. I am working on my 7th block, not in numerical order, and feel like there have been a few color blocks that are not the right size. Anyone else having this issue? Kodiak, Alaska

I LOVE the Arcadia Avenue quilt and would like info on how to join the quilt along or to get the block patterns (Not seeing that info on the site. I see where to click for each block but not access to the block pattern).
Thanks so much
