A FRESH PERSPECTIVE

One of the best things about a QAL (quilt along) is the chance to put your own colour preferences to the test as you mix and contrast fabrics. If you’re keen to up your own skills for colourwork, project planning paper piecing and more, take a look at Carolyn Friedlander’s Eads sewalong. With tips on Carolyn’s blog and plenty of inspiration on Instagram, it’s brimming with possibilities! The blocks’ spiky angles bring to mind stars, Christmas trees and more, so just a little fore-thought in your palette will summon an instant festive feel. Lay your quilt in progress out on a design wall for an immediate overview of the impact. See carolynfriedlander.com and use the hashtag #eadsqal to get involved
