If you want to join me in paper piecing, Sew Sweet QAL (or better to say PPAL - paper piece along) starts on 1st of October. There will be 5 PP blocks, one every week and in addition, during those 5 weeks I will post step-by-step instructions for a mini quilt. 

Below you will find all the details about the QAL:

1. Rules for QAL and contest

2. Detailed schedule

3. Fabric requirements

1. Sew Sweet QAL rules:

* first block in Sew Sweet QAL will be posted on 01.10.2014 and the last one on 29.10.2014 (you can find the detailed schedule below)

* in addition to 5 PP blocks, there will be a tutorial for a PP writing 'Sew Sweet' and for a mini quilt (which you can see above).

* each of the 5 PP blocks will be free for download for a week after publication date through Craftsy; after that time, blocks will be available in my Craftsy and Etsy shops

* starting 05-Nov-2014, a linky will be open, so that you can link your projects made with Sew Sweet QAL blocks (one project per person). It can be anything made with the blocks, not only mini quilt, but it has to be a finished project. Photos of unfinished PP blocks will be deleted from the linky.

* linky will be closed on 19-Nov-2014, and from all submitted projects 3 winners (the number of the winners can be changed if there are not enough submissions) will be chosen by the Guest Judge
* winners will be anounced in a week after the linky end

* the Guest Judge for Sew Sweetness QAL is Sara Lawson from sewsweetness.com.

Fabric Requirements: 

*in each QAL post I will share my fabric choices for the single blocks (including the fabric requirements) 

I will sew the mini quilt with one Cupcake block (10"x10") and two Ice Cream blocks (5"x10"). Instead of them, you can take any other two Sew Sweet QAL blocks.

For the mini quilt in the version shown above you will need: 
*Cupcake block - 1FQ background fabric + scraps for the details
*2 Ice Cream blocks - 1FQ background fabric + scraps for the details
*F8 of yellow fabric for strips
*FQ of fabric for the mini quilt's background, which matches the color of Cupcake block background fabric
*1/2y of background fabric for 'Sew Sweet' writing
*1FQ of fabric matching the background color for 'Sew Sweet' letters
*1/2y of fabric for the backing
*1/2y of fabric for binding (it's easier to cut longer strips)

Here are my fabric choices:

I will post updates on the QAL also on my FB page. I'd love to see your fabric choices and WIP photos.

I hope to see you again on Wednesday, 1st of October, ready to sew with me :)
