Andy QAL Week 1: Choose your Fabrics

Welcome to week 1 of the Andy QAL! We are truly so excited to sew this little pattern with you. Andy is such a good scrap-buster, first quilt, or palette cleanser! Which means it's good for anyone! 

 

This week we're talking all about choosing your fabrics! This can be the funnest or most intimidating part for people! And we don't want it to be the latter. Fun sewing only, please. :) So we have a video that talks allllll about how we like to think about choosing fabrics for quilts! I have my biggest tips, tricks, and encouragements in this video and there aren't many quilty things I love more than chatting fabric! It's literally why quilting is my number 1 hobby: you get to choose as many fabrics as you want! Very few limitations!! 

 

My top tips include:

-what's my magic formula for choosing colors?

-what's my magic formula for picking fabrics?

-what would I tell a beginner?

-are my tips/quilts for everyone? (no they are not. and neither will yours be, so don't try to make them that way!)

 

For now, what you need to do is get the pattern (25% off all month!) and choose your size. Then start thinking about what color/vibe you want and slowing pull some fabrics/start shopping! 

 

And remember: this is supposed to be fun! ;)
