How’s your Comfort Quilt coming along? I’m still behind, but it’s not going to beat me! My kids finished school last week, and we’ve had a bunch of extra fun happening too. I will catch up with all of you!
Week six Check in:
Again, I’m not going to let it upset me. Just need to work a little harder this week to make time for me and my sewing machine to hang out! With school out and a new routine for everyone it should be manageable. Fingers crossed!
Week seven
I know that this time of year is hard for a lot of us to sew! Even if you aren’t on track with the schedule (like me!) I hope that you are still enjoying seeing the blocks pop up online, and the variety of project being made.
- Make the listed number of large and small blocks on your schedule, to finish block construction!
- Post your finished blocks, use #ComfortQuiltQAL to share with the group.
- Show us your stacks of finished blocks, or of the rows if you are moving forward!
Be sure to use the #ComfortQuiltQAL hashtag on all your posts so that everyone can find you. It’s a fun way to interact as we sew!
Have questions about the quilt-along? I’d love to help! Leave a note in the comments and I’ll answer there so everyone can benefit.
Happy Quilting –
Amy

Here’s some of the fun happening on Instagram:
I am doing the comfort quilt and heartland heritage, in addition to e few other projects! The comfort quilt is for a very dear friend who is sick, so I am determined to stay on track! So I’m behind in my other things. I’m really happy with all my blocks and how they look, it’s so fun to sew how everyone else is doing too! Sew inspiring!
I’m making my first little blocks this morning…late to start but I’m so inspired by everyone’s progress! Amy, thanks for the little prods each week via email…I’m digging through my scraps as I type
I’m getting pretty behind right now – I haven’t done any in a couple weeks! – but I’ve got some deadline sewing to be done first, so it’s had to take a backseat. I’ll get back to it soon, hopefully!
I have the rows for the small blocks done, next need to make the large block rows and assemble! (Baby quilt size). I may add a border.
I am extremely behind as I had family visiting for all of May which tied up my weekends plus trying to get a quilt done for my DIL for her birthday the end of June. But – I will get this comfort quilt done eventually – I really love the look of it and am very inspired by the original quilt by you, Amy, and all of the pics of everyone’s progress on theirs. Thank you for your weekly emails – they are encouraging!
