My love of Katy's Orange Soda Quilt is extreme, as you all know.
But really...how can you not want to wrap yourself up in this baby:
So I went and bugged Katy and told her how much I love it and how y'all told me you loved it...
So it's Quilt-a-long time!
I've titled it the Soda Pop Quilt-a-long because I know we'll all be making it in different colors. Mine is Grape Soda! And I'll posting pics of my lovely purple as soon as the mailman hands it over.
The Quilt-a-long will officially kick off on Monday, June 11th with a post about gathering fabric and supplies but I just couldn't wait any longer to mention it.

This will also give y'all enough time to pick up a copy of Fat Quarterly Shape Workshop for Quilters.
Luckily there's a Blog Tour happening for this book right now!
The tour is over at Lily's Quilts today with a lovely interview with Katy and a chance to win a copy!
There are tons of stops on the tour (including one here, yay!) so be sure to follow the calender for more reviews, tutorials and giveaways!
I'll be setting up a Flickr group closer to the start date.
And I'm working on arranging something special for y'all.
So grab yourself a book (or win one, hopefully)!
Grab a QAL button and spread the word!
Oh yay! And I already won it from you! I'm a step in the right direction already!
ReplyDeleteMelinda totally took that book from me, I was supposed to win that giveaway!! lol Sigh...I guess this means I'm definitely going to have to buy a copy now. I've been trying so hard to resist but that's the one quilt that I've been seeing over and over that I really like in the book. You're killing me! I guess it's a good thing I've been rocking and rolling on my WIPs and have most of them DONE. I can totally make room to start something new.
ReplyDeleteWow I'm so excited you got the go-ahead for this!! Now I have a great excuse to buy the book. Super exciting, this is such a great quilt!
ReplyDeleteGasp! I'd love to get the book, but I have a feeling it won't be opened for a while even with the quilt along =D
ReplyDeleteI'm hosting a new swap over at my blog if anyone is interested please pop over for a look =D

I wasn't sure if I was going to buy the book, but then you went and started a dang quilt along! So....I just ordered the book, which means, I'm in!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a stunning quilt, but it looks a bit terrifying! All those curves.....
ReplyDeleteGot to get the book and look at that pattern.
If I can get my hands on a copy of it I'm totally in!! Love Katy's quilt! And since the button is so awesome I'm sticking it on my blog now :)
ReplyDeleteI am going to attempt this. But only for you!
ReplyDeleteJust ordered the book. Should have it in plenty of time for the QAL.
