Second Sew Along – The Second Update

Our second sew along has been hopping and bopping along since July 1st.  This is a no stress, no deadline, no prize sew along, just for fun.  A vote back in early June determined there was no winner but there was a tie!  Sew, all three patterns were the choices for this sew along.

Sew Along Finishes

Please take a few minutes and read the finishing stories – you won’t be sorry.  How did they come up with these names, and how did they quilt these beautiful quilts?!!  Some fabulous tips are shared – I am going to use Sandra’s pre-quilting idea for sure.

There is still time to join us if you’d like; just leave a comment.  Since there’s no deadline, anyone can jump in whenever!  In case you’re wondering what the first sew along was, we shared an update on all the finished Regatta quilts at the end of June.  We are choosing between these three layouts for our quilt:

This is on the to-do list now so that we will have a flimsy shortly.  Those polka dots just make me smile!
