Hello, I just signed-up and purchased the pattern. I’m so excited. I’ve never done a quilt along, I’m not sure what I need to do. Can you advise me? Thank you.

Hi Cathy, a quilt along is simple. We make the quilt together. The schedule shows what we’ll be making or learning on particular days. You can show photos of your progress on my Facebook group or event page.
