Ticker Tape Quilt Along Begins in February!

First of all, thanks to all of you who chimed in about which quilt along you wanted me to host next. It was close, but Ticker Tape just barely edged out Color Weave. But not to worry, for those of you who voted for Color Weave, scroll to the end of this post. You won’t be disappointed! Take a sneak peek of the Ticker Tape quilt pattern by clicking play below:

So here’s how it’s going to work. Each week, starting on February 6th here on my blog, I’ll share which steps of the quilt you can work on, in order to complete the entire quilt over 6 weeks. You’ll need a copy of the Ticker Tape quilt pattern to follow along, but the quilt along itself is absolutely free! Below is a general overview of the timeline, but remember – you can always work at your own pace!

Optional Ticker Tape Quilt Kits

While supplies last, I’m offering 4 different Ticker Tape quilt kits, all made from my Dazzle Dots quilt fabric. They all use one pre cut strip roll for the blocks, along with 5 yards of contrasting fabric for the background.

Click here to get your Ticker Tape Quilt Kit.

If you’d like to choose your own fabrics, that’s great too. You’ll just need one standard sized strip roll (40 strips, 2 1/2″ x 42″) plus background fabric to make the double sized quilt shown on the pattern cover.

I actually made a smaller version of this quilt with the dark navy background, and will be making the larger size with the turquoise background along with everyone else. I can’t wait!

Sharing is Caring

Let me know if you plan to quilt along! You can use the hashtag #tickertapequilt on social media, and you can also share pics of your progress and ask any questions you have in my ChristaQuilts group on Facebook.

Now is a great time to gather your supplies so you are ready to roll on Feb 6th!

Bonus Color Weave Video!

I made the original version of Color Weave from an earlier fabric line that’s no longer in print. I filmed a video at the time, so you can still successfully make this quilt any time you wish. Grab the Color Weave quilt pattern, and click below to watch:

And rest assured, I still plan to remake another version of Color Weave using Dazzle Dots, too. So if you had your heart set on making this quilt you still can. I’ll probably start on it after I finish making Ticker Tape, and I’ll still plan to make another video when I do!
