Juliet Quilt Along - Week 1

Welcome to our Juliet Quilt Along!

I am SEW happy you are beginning this year by quilting with me!

Thank you for taking the time, and I can't wait to work together on this beautiful design.

Juliet Tea Dye

I can't wait to see which color option you choose -

did you go with the Tea Dye collection or Dahlia?

Or did you chose your own fabrics or Fat Quarter Bundle from our website?

This design works beautifully with 22 Fat Quarters. We have a wonderful selection on our website.

I know it will be stunning anyway you make it!

Don't forget to use your templates

(Juliet Templates and a nice Creative Grids® Quilt Ruler 4½" x 12½")

for precise and easy cuts as we begin our blocks!

This is a perfect time to use your Creative Grids® ALASKA Ruler as well!

WEEK 1

This week we will be working on our small diamonds.

Tip of the week: In order to get perfect diamonds, it is nice to give yourself a little bit of room and cut your strips for the diamonds a little bit larger. This gives you a chance to trim all the way around the template.
