Bargello QAL Schedule and Introduction to Sponsors!

I have been very much looking forward to the 'official' first post of the Bargello QAL!

The QAL is free and you can choose between two sizes.

Large Bargello - I'll call this quilt Queen B - finishes at 36'' square.

Mini Bargello - aka Baby B - finishes at 16'' square.

Both Queen B and Baby B use 2 1/2 inch strips so you might find just what you need already in your stash.

Here is the schedule:

• Kickoff and Sponsor Introduction  (today!)
• Fabric Requirements   (March 7)
• Bargello Basics   (March 14)
• Bargello assembly   (March 21)
• Quilting the bargello (March 28)
• Linky party (March 28 - April 22)
• Winners selected   (April 22)

And for the super exciting part!

We've two fantastic sponsors for the QAL.

Three (3) participants - chosen randomly - will win a fat quarter bundle.  An entry into the QAL is earned with a completed quilt top - quilted or not quilted.

Make both Bargellos and earn two entries!

Become seriously addicted and make a third?  Earn yourself another entry.  (And so on!)

For those who want to enter but don't have a blog, entries can be sent via email.   Bonus points also available for sharing via Facebook and Instagram - more on that later.


American Made Brand solids, one of my blog sponsors, has a collection of 75 beautiful colors of fabric completely manufactured in the United States - from the cotton to the finished fabric!  The fabric has deep rich color and I love the feel of the fabric (the hand.)  My large Bargello was made exclusively of American Made Brand solids from my stash.

 American Made Brand is providing two fat quarter bundles - aren't these beautiful colors?

Fat Quarter Shop, one of my blog sponsors, offers a tremendous selection of fabric and very beautiful (and tempting!) block of the month offerings.  Fat Quarter Shop offers fabric from many different manufacturers and you can find anything you are looking for there! 

Fat Quarter Shop is providing a fat quarter bundle of Riley Blake Small Gingham.
