Quilty Habit: Argyled Quilt Along and Kit Giveaway! Pages Home About Portfolio Classes & Lectures Community Monday, February 25, 2013 Argyled Quilt Along and Kit Giveaway! I'm thrilled to share my new springy quilt, "Argyled," with you today! For those of you who are here for the first time, my name is Jess and I am a relatively obsessive quilter. Give me a free day on the weekend and a pile of fabric and (hopefully) there will be some moderny goodness in the end. So, you can imagine my response when Nicole of 1 Choice 4 Quilting asked me to design a quilt for the shop's newly restarted online club... ...allons-y! ("let's go" in French) (especially if you're a massive Doctor Who geek like me) Sadly, it's really hard to see the quilting on the backing (look below for more pics), but I'm in love with these prints! IN LOVE. This quilt was inspired by the beautiful argyle sweaters everyone and their mom wears during the winter. I kept seeing them everywhere and I actually really need to get one myself! They keep you snuggly and warm, and so will this quilt :) It's a pretty large nearly- square lap size (I will update this with the measurements - forgive me, it's being washed again after the photoshoot), and you have the option of quilting in an "argyle" pattern, which I will explain/instruct. They DO say the quilting makes the quilt, after all! This quilt offers you a unique, simple layout that is layer cake friendly and showcases every print in the beauteous new Kate Spain line, Honey Honey (I can't get enough). Plus, if you've been stuck in the snow lately (like Kate herself) you'll appreciate the springy pop this brings to your living room :) It was a complete joy to make and I hope you enjoy making one too! I had a vision to break up the diamonds with strips to make it more of a modern finish. I'm so glad I did! Plus, the lace and orange prints are just to die for... Whenever there's a finished quilt around here, there's a rousing photoshoot. I enlisted my favorite assistant, my 16-year-old sister, Marisa, to help. ********************************************************************************** ----QAL Info and Giveaway---- The quilt along will go on throughout March (though it is a quick quilt and it could be put together in a few days!). I have diagrams and plenty of pictures to share with you! The schedule is as follows: March 6: Cutting and piecing the diamonds March 13: Cutting and piecing the strips, finishing the quilt top March 20: Quilting March 27: Post a picture of your quilt to the flickr group for a prize! Nicole has the kits listed in her shop at the discounted price of $89.99 (20% off and free shipping!). Order your kit now, to make sure you get it by the 6th! She is generously giving away 1 Argyled Quilt Kit on her blog! Leave a comment here for one chance, and if you are an old or new follower of Quilty Habit, you get a second chance (just leave a separate comment). Head over to Nicole's post for 8 MORE chances to win! Winner will be announced by 4 pm on March 1 (closes at 12 noon). All crinkly from the wash :) I can't thank Nicole enough for all of her support of my quilting and ideas - and I'm lucky enough that we live very near each other and can sew/fabric obsess in person! Be sure to stop by her fantastic shop and see all the beautiful fabrics she has in (besides Honey Honey, I'm drooling over Comma). So, what are you waiting for? Let's QAL!
