I love a good quilt-along, don't you? They are great projects to work on - scrap busters, skill builders, and just plain fun projects you can work on with your friends and guilds, and quilt friends you just haven't met yet across the country, across the world.
This page is your starting point for the newest quilt-alongs with Kate Colleran and Kate Colleran Designs, and the place to look back on quilt-alongs Kate has done in the past. Join the fun!
Fall O'Ween Quilt Along
Koffee Klatch with Kate & Kris announces a new fall themed Quilt Along - Fall O'Ween.
What is it? It’s a 4 month Quilt Along, featuring fall-themed quilt blocks. Every month, you’ll receive between 1 and 4 quilt block designs, along with a project to use with the quilt block(s). All the blocks are the same size, so you can mix and match your blocks in the projects!
When the QAL is done, you will have useful projects that you can use to decorate your home for the fall season! The blocks are a fun mix of fall and Halloween-inspired designs.
What’s included? You get 10 blocks plus a bonus block, and 4 fun projects!!!
The Quilt Along ran in March / April 2023. This time, it's was Mystery! Luna is a pieced quilt, and the instructions are written for 12 different sizes! If you participated, I hope you enjoyed it.
The pattern will be released for retail sale later in 2023.
