Join the free Sewcialites Quilt Along with Block 2 - LOYAL by Lisa Bongean

October 2, 2020 Nicole van Gremberghe

Wanna get “sewcial” and quilt with us?

How would you feel about a new and free Quilt Along? That would be so much fun, right? 

I already told you in last week’s post, but I’m so happy to be part of this that I want to introduce you again to the brand new Sewcialites Quilt Along hosted by Fat Quarter Shop. We are going to have so much fun in the next 9 months until way into the Summer of 2021!! We are going to quilt online with people from all over the world. 

You probably know how a quilt along works or have read about it in last week’s blog post, but for the newbies around there, let me explain one more time. 

The Sewcialites Quilt Along will have 36 blocks designed by 18 talented designers. And I’m happy to say, I’m one of them. Yay! 

Every Friday, there will be a new blog post here on the blog to present to you the newest FREE quilting block, which is designed by one of the 18 designers. In addition, Fat Quarter Shop is showing a live demo of each individual block on its YouTube channel, where you can join in sewing in real time. They are going live on Fridays, 9:00 AM CDT.

You can make your blocks in 3”, 6”, or 9” sizes, ending up with a respectively 27.5”, 54.5”, or 81.5” square sampler quilt. Of course, you choose your fabrics and the downloadable instructions will give you all details for the three different block sizes.

By following along and quilting with us, you end up with a great sampler quilt, some awesome inspiration, and maybe even new friends. Friends you can find in the Facebook group that is specially set up for the Sewcialites Quilt Along, the Sewcialites Lounge.

And also on Instagram, you can quilt along. Every month great companies like Moda and Creative Grids give away prizes when you share your progress using the hashtag #SewcialitesQAL. Isn’t that awesome?!

SEWIALITES SEW ALONG, BLOCK 2 - free quilt along hosted by Fatquartershop. This block is called LOYAL, brought to you by Lisa Bongean. Fabrics used in this block are SPOTTED and PAPER by Zen Chic.

Let’s take a look at this week’s block, shall we? This block is made for you by Lisa Bongean. She called it Loyal. It’s an awesome block to have in a sampler quilt. It’s not quite like anything else we are used to seeing from Lisa. You know, Lisa likes to play with a lot of smaller pieces in her block, so this is certainly a different side of her. 

Don’t forget to share your block made with Lisa’s pattern and instructions, in the Facebook group and on Instagram!!

Ow and I just want to say, if you missed block #1, and you wanna play catch up, you could go check it out here in last week’s post. I also shared my fabrics that I will be using for this quilt and the alternative layout inspired by Tracy Bes in the Sewcialites Lounge on Facebook.

Can you believe the Sewcialites Quilt Along is almost over? I almost say, because even though the free blocks are all shared in the quilting community, we still have a quilt to make. In this blog post I am giving some tips on how to put together the final layout I created and what materials you will need for it. And last but not least, let's take a look at what the other quilters made of this beautiful sampler quilt!

Sewcialites Block 36, the final one - KINDNESS by Corey Yoder
Sewcialites Block 36, the final one - KINDNESS by Corey Yoder

Welcome back to the last block in the Sewcialites QAL. This block is by Corey Yoder and has such an appropriate name being the last one: Kindness. I feel that every quilter and designer that contributed to Sewcialites has been so kind by donating a piece of their creativity. They enabled us to practice more techniques and add to our sewing skills and to connect with like-minded people. That’s what this QAL was all about and I’m glad I was a part of it.

Sewcialites Block 35 - COMPASSION by Anne Sutton
Sewcialites Block 35 - COMPASSION by Anne Sutton

Welcome to week 35 in our Sewcialites Quilt Along. This is already the penultimate block for our sampler quilt! Can you believe it? It was designed by Anne Sutton and she named it COMPASSION. In this post you can read all about what Compassion means and how it relates to the quilting community in my point of view. I tell you more about Anne and what her specialty is and you can win amazing prizes again.

Sewcialites Block 34 - PASSION by Carrie Nelson
Sewcialites Block 34 - PASSION by Carrie Nelson

I’m sure you are probably as passionate about quilting as I am. And so is our designer of the week for our Sewcialites sew Along, Carrie Nelson. Fittingly, she created a block called PASSION for our sampler quilt. Wanna find our what else Carrie is passioned about? Read more about her in this blog post.
