Today I’m announcing my next Quilt Along (QAL) which will start on 10 September.

How to join
Joining is simple.
- Purchase the Tulip factory pattern. I will sell the pattern at half price until the end of the QAL.
- Subscribe to my blog so you don’t miss any of the QAL posts
- Get ready for the start of the QAL by selecting your fabrics.
Tips on selecting fabrics
I created this video for my previous QAL but it’s applicable to the Tulip factory QAL.
Fabric needs for a coordinated quilt
The fabric needs for each individual colour apply to a coordinated quilt like the one on the right. I made my version scrappy, so if you do as me you’ll need only a few scraps for each block. The fabric needs for the background fabric remains the same for both.

My book Turnabout Patchwork
“Turnabout Patchwork. Simple quilts with a twist” is all about playing with blocks – making a block, slicing it up, and turning or repositioning the pieces to make a completely different block (sometimes two smaller blocks) to yield endless quilt tops.
- Order Turnabout Patchwork on Amazon
- Order Turnabout Patchwork directly from Martingale
- Book depository
