Big Top Quilt Along: Week 1

Welcome to Week 1 of the Big Top Quilt Along!

This week is all about getting acquainted with the basic elements of the pattern, planning your project and picking your fabrics. In the video, I give you a little tour of the Big Top and talk about some different colors schemes for you to experiment with. To give you a little leg up, I’ve made charts for two of the color schemes I talk about in the video. The first is for the coral version, and this chart includes the fabrics I used to make this quilt. The second is for the minimal-mod version of the quilt that only uses four colors.

If you are doing the quilt along, this week you should plan your quilt and select your fabrics. Post a picture to Instagram of your gorgeous fabric pull with the hashtag #bigtopQAL to be entered in to win this week’s prize! Follow me @brigitgail to find out what you can win this week!

Next week (June 29-July 5), we’ll be making templates and cutting out the pattern pieces.
