Tulip Star - a block from Golden Days that, we admit, might a little bit labour intensive but, we think, well worth the effort and cant help but think a repeat block quilt would be pretty spectacular.

It’s got us thinking... what about a Sew Along?
Not a BOM - a proper Sew Along with dates to complete blocks by, encouragement from an online community and a few prizes to keep it interesting.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are just brainstorming right now as we get over the weekend (more about #handcrafted2019 later) BUT, we would love to know all your thoughts on the matter.
Do you Sew Along?
What do you love about Sew Alongs?
Is it the encouragement? The deadlines? Community? Or prizes?

Summer is finally here for those of us in the northern hemisphere, and what better way to celebrate than with a new monthly block for the #qp2019sewalong!? It's time to begin the sixth month of the 2019 Quilter's Planner Block of the Month Sampler Sew Along, when we make Middle Ring Block 2! Let the sunshine stitching commence! Want to join the fun? Remember it's never too late to join us for our #QP2019sewalong! ✨
.
Here’s a general schedule for how the Sew Along works:
Between the 1st and the 7th day of each month, you’ll find the pattern for that month’s block and select your fabrics.
Between the 8th and the 14th, you’ll get your fabrics prepped and cut.
Between the 15th and the end of the month, sew up your blocks and post to Instagram (or in our Facebook group), tagging @thequiltersplanner and #qp2019sewalong!
*Note: Depending on whether you're stitching the Hexie Snowflake layout or Pyramid layout, the number of blocks to sew each month may vary. Be sure to check the schedule on our blog.
✨
When you post a photo of your block, you’ll be entered into a drawing for some great prizes from our sponsors: @aurifilthread, @olfacreates, @fwfabricstudio, @stitchesquilting and more. Each month’s entry must be posted by 12:01am Central Time on the first of the next month to be eligible. (So post the June block by 12:01 July 1st to be eligible for the June prize).
.
✨✂️ Now, for June Block Requirements! ✂️✨
You’ll find instructions for Middle Ring Block 2 on page 19 of the Quilter’s Planner companion magazine. The goal for this week is to read through the block instructions and select fabrics! Visit our blog at quiltersplanner.com to find tips for this block. While you’re there, you can also download the coloring pages to help you choose your fabric if you haven't done so already. Or try out @prequilt to play with color placement digitally!
✨
Here's to a fun year of beautiful blocks! ✨✂️
