Low volume quilts

Good morning! I wanted to take a second to let you know about a very informal quilt-along that I am hosting on Instagram starting next week! I wanted to host a quilt-along and had my friends on IG vote on which of my patterns they wanted to do. Sweet Kisses won and I am excited to start next Monday, April 5th. As I said, this is going to be very informal. There won't be any sign-ups, weekly blog posts or weekly emails. Just follow along with me on Instagram @gigis_thimble. I'll be posting…

I love this very sweet fabric I used for the backing: "Just Another Walk in the Woods" designed by Stacy Iest Hsu. I have enough left to back the "Clambake" cot quilt I'm making at the moment.

Catching up here on quilts finished this year. I started collecting low volume fabrics a few years ago needing a break from all the bright fabrics and the calm was welcome. Turns out I had A LOT of low volume fabric as I finished this queen size quilt and still had plenty to make at least two more quilts.
