HI there just wondering how much fabric needed for this. eg a fat quarter bundle kind regards Jeannie
I was doing the Lexington Sampler and had family issues. I need week 8
I have blocks 1 and 2, but haven’t got the rest of the blocks. Where can I download them
please?
I”ve read the instructions several times but I cannot find the measurements for the flying geese border units. What am I missing? Thanks for the assistance.

NQC quilt block challenge
Need refreshing. Haven’t quilted in years.
It’s a very pretty quilt
Looks like fun
I’ve been thinking of doing some EPP in the area where you use the EPP print fabric. Does that sound like a good idea, or would it be too “much”?
I am late to the party but have really enjoyed the discussion. Where do I go to find the “beginning” of the pattern for the challenge. Thanks, Deborah
Just interested. I recently purchased a Baby Lock Crescendo but have not had time to plug it up. I do at home alterations and stay pretty busy with my customers. However, I am catching up and should have time in the near future. I also do taxes during tax season and I am through so should have more time for learning to quilt.
Can you give us any clues about what the center block will look like?
I’m loving your challenge! Any suggestions on what fabric to use on the back of the quilt if I have similar colors to what you used? Do you ever make an extra block and insert it in the back?
I just made my first quilt! There are so many patterns I love, but I have a hard time choosing colors!!
Lexington Sampler
Will we get instructions on how to put batting together once we’ve got the top done? It seems all class instructors think newbies know the correct way to finish a quilt.
as a quilt designer, are you bothered when quilters change your pattern that you have offered, either by accident or by design? I would hate to offend a designer by trying to make your pattern fit into my scheme! thanks so much for your interaction with this sew along, it has helped tremendously!
I’ve made a musical bird table runner. My main fabric is black and white with musical staffs and notes, etc. (very busy) and then I added rick rack and I have placed many embroidered birds (all in bright colors) on the rick rack as though the birds are standing on it. My quilt is very bright and busy with the music, the rick rack, and the birds but I don’t know how to quilt it being it is very busy already. I love how it has turned out and don’t want to ruin it by over quilting it. Help!!
I am a novice quilter. When you start quilting, do you start at a side or in the middle?
Your directions are just amazing! Do you have any books on quilting patterns that are available?
It would be helpful if after. Completing each.step you could give an unfinished and finished size so we can double check ourselves.
First time for me and I will sign up.
I would like to try a quilt as you goare they hard to do do I need to change my walk-in foot to the other foot for motion quilting
Do your two blocks of each pattern have to match or can you use a different color combination for each?
Just learning to do quilting and need to know what is a very easy sewing pattern I can use to keep my sandwich together. I tried stitch in the ditch but it looked sloppy. Thanks.
Thanks for letting me join in
First time for me.
