Is everyone ready for the quilt along?  Let's get started!!!  Here are a couple of ideas to start with.

1.  We are doing the Moda Sampler Shuffle from the Fat Quarter Shop.  Here is the link to the Jolly Jabber and Sampler Block Shuffle  http://fatquartershop.blogspot.com.  You have to download the patterns now as the Shuffle ends in a few weeks and the patterns may not be available.  

2.  Everyone is encouraged to start at block #1 of the Shuffle and another 6 1/2 inch block of your choice.  There are several places to find 6 1/2 inch block patterns, including Farmer's Wife, Quilter's Cache, and Silva's Bridal Quilt, Farm Girl Vintage, 501 Rotary-cut Blocks to name just a few.  Do two blocks a week and post the blocks by Saturday to the blog.  This would be making 8 blocks a month which will allow you to make 80+ blocks by November.  If you are planning to make a smaller quilt, you can adjust your numbers.  That will give you almost enough for a twin quilt by Nov. 

3.  Let's start Monday, Jan 18th.  Post on Jan 23rd.  Remember do block #1 and a 6 1/2 inch block of your choice.  Post both of them on Jan 23rd.  

4.  You are going to need to follow this blog and send me your email so I can add you as an a contributor to the blog.  

5.  Please invite your friends to participate.
