Makoti Quilt Along…

I’m super excited to be hosting a new quilt along, using the brand new fabric collection designed by Stuart Hillard called ‘Makoti’ for the Craftcotton Company.

The colours and patterns are really bold and bright.

The first block will be released on Friday 10th April, with each new block being released every two weeks.

This quilt along will be perfect for anyone new to sewing and quilting, but also great for those who just want to keep themselves busy.  Please spread the word and join in.

There will be giveaways along the way too, so be sure to be following myself @michelle_creativeblonde, Stuart @stuarthillardsews and @craftcottonco  on instagram.

This quilt is made up of nine 16″ x 16″ blocks, when finished will create a quilt approximately 56″ x 56″, a perfect size for a lap quilt or bed quilt to brighten up any bedroom.

The top quilt is made up of 8 different colours from the collections, making up approx. 5 yards of fabric. You will require the following amounts from the fabrics shown below (top row – left to right, then second row)

7/8 yard, 1/2 yard, 1/2 yard, 5/8 yard, 5/8 yard, 5/8 yard, 1/2 yard, 1/2 yard

Once the blocks have all be released, I will then share different ideas for quilting to help you complete your quilt. Be sure to share you progress using the hashtag
