I’m so excited to be sharing this quilt with you and having you sew along with me to make it. To me it has a little ‘80s flair to it, so I named it the ‘Like, Totally’ quilt! Do you feel the ‘80s?
First step is to pick your fabric. You’ll need a background fabric and 5 accent colors. I made a swatch sheet for you to use to keep track of your fabrics with the design colors. You can download it here. In keeping with the ‘80s theme, I decided to go with a neon palette. I am cutting into my pink neon print stash for my background fabric and neon pink, green, blue, orange and yellow for the other fabrics.
Fabric Quantities:
- Background - 3 ½ yards
- Fabric 1- 1 yard
- Fabric 2- ¾ yards
- Fabric 3- ¼ yard
- Fabric 4- 1 yard
- Fabric 5- ¾ yards
- Binding- ½ yard
I did round up to the nearest ¼ yard, so we may have a some bits left over to go towards the back!
This could also be a fun scrap quilt! And I have a sneaky feeling I might see a red and white version…. (You know who you are!)
For each of the blocks, I’ll either be sharing a quick tutorial or I’ll be sharing links to tutorials to make the blocks.
The overall quilt will be 56” square made up of 8” finished blocks (8.5” unfinished block).
I’m an improv quilter, but for this one I’m not making the blocks improv, but I do think it would be fun as an improv quilt, too!
The swatch sheet has the hashtags for this year’s BOM. Be sure to post as you go and include the hashtags so we can all encourage each other throughout the year.
