Harmony Hand Pieced QAL Pattern Now Available!!

Its been exciting to get such wonderful feedback on Harmony, our pattern for the Hand Pieced QAL for 2021.

After sampler quilts in our first two QALs, we were ready for something different.

The Harmony pattern features a large block (28” x 28”) which is perfect for a wall hanging. Sew 4 Harmony blocks and join them together for a beautiful throw size quilt (56" x 56") which gives the illusion of curves in a secondary pattern.

The pattern is perfect for yardage and is also FQ friendly.

And the pattern is now ready for purchase as a PDF download for just $10.

Join us each Monday for tips and tutorials with chances to win prizes! There will be lots of quilters sewing along with us so you can enjoy community support or go ahead and sew at your own pace!

You can quilt along with us, with lots of tips and tricks, prizes, and community support--or go ahead and sew at your own pace. It's your choice.


Harmony Throw Quilt


My Harmony throw quilt was quilted into a spiral using my walking foot.  It takes awhile but the results are just spectacular!  (IMHO!)

For my Harmony wall hanging, I choose to quilt a grid also using my walking foot.
