The Goldie Quilt SAL!
The Goldie Quilt Pattern is the latest Then Came June release. The Goldie Quilt is a Fat Quarter friendly yet scrappy inspired pattern. The pattern uses classic quilting techniques - Half Square Triangles, 9 Patches and Strip Piecing to create my ode to the Bear Paw design. This quilt pattern is such a fun one to use when playing with color. You can dive into your FQ stash or grab a kit and let's sew together!
THE DATES: Friday January 27th - Friday March 24th
DURATION: 8 Weeks
QUILT SIZE: Throw Size 63" x 63"
SCHEDULE: We are going to sew the Goldie quilt top together over the course of 8 weeks. The first two weeks are about picking our fabric, inspiration and cutting. Weeks 3 - 7 we will be sewing our components, our blocks and the final week we are assembling our quilt top! There are no catch up weeks accounted for in the schedule but I think once we get into a flow, it will be easy to stay on track.
Week 1: We will be chatting color palettes and different ideas on how to make the Goldie quilt. I will be providing a lot of mock ups and ideas for you!
Week 2: We are cutting all of our fabrics out and getting organized!
Week 3: We are sewing our 9 Patch Cornerstones which make the center of every block and are in our sashing. Once these are made, we are doing a single Goldie block to get everyone up to speed on how these blocks come together.
Week 4: Sewing 2 Goldie Blocks
Week 5: Sewing 2 Goldie Blocks
Week 6: Sewing 2 Goldie Blocks
Week 7: Sewing 2 Goldie Blocks
Week 8: We are making our Long Sashing Pieces and assembling our quilt top!

Goldie Quilt Kits - Available in our Shop!
We have several Goldie quilt kits available for purchase in our shop! The Goldie Electric Waves Kit is what I am making for the SAL. A fun mix of blues for the blocks and then each block has a different background fabric using golds to acid limes. It's going to be bright and crazy and I am excited! Also any 20 piece FQ Bundle would work well and then grab some background fabric!

I am excited this year to be the one providing the weekly prizes! And since we are all quilters here, we LOVE fabric. And you know what I love to do with fabric? CURATE IT! So each week someone will get an opportunity to win a FQ Bundle curated by me! You get to let me know a color palette idea, if you want solids, prints or a mix and I will make something as a surprise according to your color hopes!
