The Violet QAL - Fabric Planning

The Violet QAL - Fabric Planning

 Ok, I know - the QAL hasn't started yet. But if you are like me, you are already thinking about fabric and I wanted to give you some quilt mockups to use as examples. During the first week of the QAL, I will give you more information and detail about value, scale, making the rainbow version, etc.

I will be making the regular version AND the rainbow version (instructions for both are included in the pattern) - you can see the fabric requirements listed for both versions in the QAL intro post


Also, a reminder to pick up the pattern while it is on sale - it will go back to regular price once the QAL begins. 

Scrappy vs. Non-Scrappy

In the pattern, there are 3 shapes: the plus shapes, the large squares, and the small squares. You have the option of making the large squares scrappy or not scrappy - if you choose the scrappy option, you will not need a Fabric C for your quilt but you will need a couple more Fabric A fabrics (more detail is in the pattern). 


Check out the example mockup using Golden Hour by Alexia Abegg for Ruby Star Society. The top quilt is not scrappy - all of the large squares use the same ochre colored fabric. In the second image, the large squares use a variety of fabrics.

This is an older Bonnie and Camille collection that I mocked up when I wrote the pattern, but I think it would be really fun in Shine On!

Solids - you also have the option of using a single fabric for each shape.
