At The Seashore Quilt Along

If you are looking for a fun summer quilt along to participate in, Moda Bakeshop is running a new one called At The Seashore. It is the fourth year for the "Summer Camp" Sew Along and this year it will follow an Ocean Theme. It is free to join in and you will be able to print the patterns from the Moda Bakeshop website.
The fabric requirements and introduction for this quilt along were just posted this past Monday, and on Wednesday a checklist was made available, and now they are sharing the various layout options. Throughout the summer the Chef's will post new block designs every few days. The blocks will range in difficulty and there will be traditionally pieced blocks, some with a few curves, and some applique.
The initial fabric requirements call for a fat quarter bundle but it doesn't specify a size, this is because all the layouts will require a various number of blocks. Moda fat quarter bundles usually range from about 25-42 prints so that is a good base, you can go scrappier and use smaller pieces or go less scrappy and use larger cuts of fabric.
There will be four different layout options to choose from, each is a different size, with varying numbers of blocks, sashing, background and filler blocks. Each layout will have additional fabric requirements, which will assist you in choosing fabrics.
Once you have chosen your setting you can begin to fill in your checklist sheet with how many blocks you need to make and what fabrics you will be using.
We have lots of fun Moda Fabrics in store for you to choose from, lots of others too but for this Quilt Along the designers prefer you to use Moda as it is a free pattern they are offering to you.

Will you be joining in on this fun Quilt Along, it is a great way to make a fun summer quilt and expand your horizons by using a different color scheme than you are accustomed to or by trying out some new techniques.
